BredaPhoto, the biennial international photography festival in Breda, holds its twelfth edition from Friday 11 September to Sunday 25 October 2026. Work by more than forty national and international artists goes on show at indoor and outdoor locations across the city, from parks and historic buildings to less obvious spaces. The 2026 theme is Our Songs Came Through, which the organisation describes as stories of comfort, resilience and hope.
Why it matters
BredaPhoto only takes place in even years, so a full edition is a six-week occasion rather than an annual routine. The festival also places photography in the city itself, outdoors as well as indoors, rather than confining it to a single venue.
Programme highlights
The organiser’s festival description lists a side programme of guided tours, artist talks, performances, film screenings and children’s activities alongside the main exhibitions. More than forty national and international artists take part.
Practical information
The festival is open daily from 10:00 to 17:00, according to the Breda city marketing agenda. Tickets are on sale through the organiser’s website, with an Early Bird discount running at the time of writing. The checked official pages did not state which locations require a ticket or whether outdoor installations are freely accessible, so consult the ticket page before planning a visit.
