The "Vlaardings Loggerfestival"<ref>{{in lang|nl}} [http://www.vl-loggerfestival.nl/ The Loggerfestival website]</ref> (''Logger'' is a traditional ship used for [[herring]] fishery, the customary English name is ''[[lugger]]'') is held on the first Saturday of June. The festival used to be called "Haring en Bierfeest" (translation: [[herring]] and [[beer]] festival), but in 2003 the mayor decided to rename it. In 2015, the name "Haring en Bierfeest" reappeared again.

Since 1987, the ''[[Geuzenpenning]]'' is an award that is yearly bestowed by a local foundation in cooperation with the town's municipality to human rights activists from all over the world.
