Park Hilaria can receive 450,000 visitors with extra security guards

Park Hilaria can receive 450,000 visitors with extra security guards

Despite the corona rules still in force, Park Hilaria expects to be able to receive 450,000 visitors next week. However, more security guards and ‘crowd managers’ are being deployed to steer the Eindhoven fair in the right direction.

With the extra security guards and slightly larger site, the organisation hopes to create extra space for queues. Visitors can then keep sufficient distance from each other. Besides, special pressure gauges and counting cameras would track whether there are too many people inside. The website shows whether it is a suitable time to come. “We are calling on people to spread out. It is always busy at the beginning of the evening. We want to ask people to also use the afternoon”, explains Mariola Scheepstra of organiser Eindhoven247.

Park Hilaria is regarded as a so-called ‘flow-through event’. This means that large groups of people are allowed under a number of conditions. The terraces on the site may therefore also be open half an hour longer than those at the catering industry in the city centre.

Close

If the Hilaria site becomes crowded, the organisation would intervene. “Then we close the entrances for a while until things have calmed down again.”

Eindhoven breakdance group win world title in Japan

The breakdance group The Ruggeds set a good example to Louis van Gaal’s football team last weekend. At the World Championships Breaking in Japan, the Eindhoven dance crew won all prizes. 

In Okinawa, the Eindhoven breakdancers competed against teams from all over the world during the 25th edition of ‘Battle Of The Year’. The dance crews competed for the titles ‘best showcase’ and winner of the battles. Both prizes were won by The Ruggeds from Eindhoven.

Justin Bieber

It is not the first time that The Ruggeds were successful. For example, the crew danced in a video clip by Justin Bieber, they were in the final of NBC’s World of Dance and they will be in Dutch theatres until the end of this year with their performance Decypher.

Book market proceeds for extracurricular activities for underprivileged children

This Saturday book lovers can indulge themselves at the Parklaan in Eindhoven, where a “French-themed” book market will take place. The proceeds of the market are intended to be given to the Leergeld Eindhoven foundation. This organisation ensures that children from poor families can participate in extracurricular activities.

Participation in such activities is very important for self-esteem, according to organizer Academisch Genootschap Eindhoven. Moreover, it helps improve the knowledge and skills of the participating children.

Book Fair

Various types of books are sold in the book market, such as fiction, non-fiction, cookbooks, historical and philosophical works. All kinds of activities with a French theme will take place around the market as well.

In addition to the book market, there is a jeu de boules court, harpist Jopie Jonkers will play French songs and Alliance Française will present information about France and the French language. Cycling enthusiasts will also be able to watch the Tour de France on a large screen.

The book market starts at 2:00 PM on Parklaan 93 in Eindhoven.

Grand stand for the differently abled at Lampegat parade

Grand stand for the differently abled at Lampegat parade

People with disabilities can watch the Carnival parade from a grandstand for the first time in Eindhoven. Next year, during the Lampegat parade on 18 Septemberplein, there will be special places for people in wheelchairs.

This gives them a good view of all the floats that pass by, Stichting Federatie Eindhovens Carnaval (Eindhoven Carnival Federation Foundation, SFEC) says. In addition to the stands for the disabled, there will be more adjustments next Carnival. “We no longer drive through Kerkstraat. It is too narrow there, and the people are too close together. We have noticed after corona that people no longer like that. The municipality also thought so, and so we have avoided narrow streets when planning the route”, Jasper Liplijn of SFEC explains.

The parade starts on Saturday, 10 February, at 13:11 at Paterskerk and then goes via Vestdijk towards 18 Septemberplein. Then the route goes between the pillars of the Piazza entrance, towards Emmasingel, and ends between the Keizersgracht and Wal just past Stadhuisplein.

Higher float

A different route with no more room for Bleekweg, Bleekstraat, Kanaalstraat, Ten Hagestraat and Kerkstraat has been decided now. However, there is a big advantage. “The float can now be a maximum of nine metres high instead of seven metres. They already do that in surrounding villages, so that was certainly a wish of the builders”.

According to Liplijn, smuggling with extra metres is not a good idea. “We hold each car against the measuring stick and see exactly which car exceeds the maximum height. This way, we can maintain a line”.

Grandstand for disabled people

For the first time during the parade, there is a grandstand for people in wheelchairs. “We have someone in the organisation who does a lot for people with disabilities, and she came up with this idea. We had not thought about how difficult it could be for this group”.

According to the SFEC, the grandstand is the same as at the Eindhoven marathon. “It went well there, too, so why not here. This way, we can give dozens of people in wheelchairs a good view of everything that passes by”.

Local events raised money for good causes

Local events raised money for good causes

Sunday, two local events took place to help raise money for good causes. Both events were organized to help children.

KiKa

KiKa is a Dutch foundation helping Children with Cancer. The abbreviation stands for Stichting Kinderen Kankervrij (Children Cancer-Free Foundation).

This year, participants raised over € 115,000. The money will be used for cancer research and new treatment methods.

About a thousand took part in this event to help raise money. Participants could choose to run ten kilometers, five kilometers, or take part in the shorter KidsRun.

Alderman Steenbakkers was present, to put a number of children in the spotlight. This happens during the ‘Kanjerkroning‘.

During this ceremony, children with cancer or who are cured, are honoured. The ‘Kanjerkroning‘ makes clear why research into childhood cancers and finding new treatments is so important.

One in four children still dies of cancer in the Netherlands.

In September and October, further ‘Run for Kika’ events take place. One is scheduled to take place in Amsterdam and the other one in Nijmegen.

Book and record market for children in Haiti

Sunday, a book and record market was organized in Geldrop. The money raised will go towards poor children living in Haiti.

Volunteer organization Stichting Actie voor Haiti (Action for Haiti Foundation) organized this market. The organization has been raising money for children in poverty-stricken Haiti since 2003.

This market lasted from eleven o’clock in the morning till three o’clock in the afternoon. How much money was raised, is not yet clear.

Effenaar fires more than half its staff

Effenaar fires more than half its staff

The Effenaar has had to let 45 out of its 81 people go. That’s a result of the corona crisis. This includes both permanent and temporary employees.

“It’s unavoidable,” Effenaar director, Jos Feijen, says. “Every week we only have one or two small concerts with 100 visitors. Normally, we’d now have plenty of sold-out concerts with 1,200 visitors. The financial impact is enormous.”

The music hall usually organises around 300 programmes a year. This year that will be 70, at most. The Effenaar is, however, responding to the corona crisis.

Isolation sessions

It’s holding about 200 ‘isolation sessions’ – live concerts that can be watched via the internet. But, this is a free event, so it doesn’t generate extra income for the music venue. The current restrictions make it impossible to run an economically sound business.

Feijen expects the current stage restrictions to remain in place well into 2021. “The Effenaar is anticipating this. We’re, therefore, reducing the number of employees to a small, decisive team.”

“These people will run the limited number of available programmes. We’ll that be able to scale up quickly,” adds Jos,” as soon as the restrictive measures are lifted.”

‘Losing know-how’

“It pains me to have these talks with all the employees. With this many people leaving the organisation, we’re also losing a lot of knowledge and experience. But we aren’t going to sit back and do nothing.”

“We’re seizing the opportunity to look ahead with a fresh perspective. We must plan for the post-COVID 19 era,” the director says. The events industry has already said it would go under without government intervention.

Any good ideas for the CBD?

A lot of construction is going to happen around Stationsplein in the coming years.

The Goed Plan! (Good Idea) initiative, therefore, wants to realise several projects during summers and autumns. These must help keep the area liveable. They think it’s a ‘Good Idea’ to do so in partnership with city dwellers.

The initiators are considering things like a city beach, or outdoor concert. Projects must be carried out between July and October. Each project will last for a month, at most.

Goed Plan!’s said that anyone with a good idea that would like to see come to life, can contact them on eindhoven@bernhardlenger.com.
