This summer, the theater festival known as ‘de Parade’ will take place from June 21 to September 1st. During de Parade, around 80 different theater, dance, mime, and music performances are presented for audiences of all ages in theater tents. Each performance has an average duration of 30 minutes, allowing you to easily enjoy two, three, or even four shows in one evening.

The Parade offers much more than just captivating performances. Treat your taste buds with a wide array of delicious food and make sure to visit the famous swing ride that graces the heart of the venue, providing an exhilarating experience for all. As night falls, the Silent Disco invites you to dance the night away, and you’ll have the pleasure of enjoying a different band performing every night.
