KinderParade
Every day from 2:00 PM, there’s a special children’s programme with theatre performances and live music. Kids can get hands-on by buidling, dancing – and even baking their own traditional Dutch poffertjes (mini pancakes)!
The Carousel
De Parade is more than just theatre. At the heart of the festival stands the iconic vintage carousel – a nostalgic favorite for many. We call it De Zweef. Some even say that the best riders can catch a glimpse of the angel on top of the ride…
And there’s more! We’ve added another classic fairground treat: old-fashioned swing boats. Take a seat facing each other and see who can swing the highest – cheered on by our candy girls, of course.
Food & Drinks
On the festival grounds, you’ll find a wide range of restaurants serving dishes from around the world – from Asian street food to spicy Indian curries. Got a sweet tooth? Create your own crêpes, bake mini pancakes, craft your own lollipop, or visit the cheerful candy girls. Drinks are served at various bars offering European wines, craft beers, and mouthwatering cocktails by Juicy’s.
