This is what you can do in the Eindhoven region during carnival

Just over a week and then carnival will start again. There are plenty of parties and parades planned in the Eindhoven region, so here is a schedule of some of the expected events taking place: 

Eindhoven

Just like last year, there are large tents on three squares in Eindhoven. The Bavaria Bierhal is located on Stadhuisplein. A different activity takes place here every day, including three hours of Weijer, mini tie children’s carnival and stepping.

There is also a tent on the Markt. Every day, artists such as Lamme Frans, Monique Smit and Vieze Jack take the stage here. The tent is especially popular among the youth. The third tent is on the Wilhelminaplein. This is mainly for the public who are fans of the more traditional Eindhoven carnival.

The grand parade of Lampegat is on February 18. This starts at 12:41 with the children’s running groups.

Mierlo

In Mierlo there are two carnival associations that provide a full program. CV De Kersepit organizes four evenings with performances in café De Koffer. There is a children’s carnival on Sunday and Monday afternoon.

CV De Spruwwejagers also provides a multi-day programme. Various artists, including Jan Biggel and Geen Stempel will perform in ‘t Mierles Huukske. On Monday morning you can hang out with an egg sandwich. To conclude, they organize an evening eating herring on Saturday 25 February.

The big parade of Mierlo is on Carnival Saturday. This time the motto of the parade is: Wai dreije wir!

Geldrop

Also in Geldrop there is no sitting still during carnival. Carnival starts there on Friday afternoon with music by DJ Roel.

On Saturday and Sunday evening, various artists will perform at Heerenhuys 23. Monday afternoon it’s time to pull out the farmer’s smock. Then there is a farmer’s smock afternoon.

The Geldrop parade can be seen on Sunday afternoon.

Waalre

In Waalre they start early. Friday morning at 08:30 Youth Prince Levi and Prince Giel will visit various schools in Aalst, Waalre and Veldhoven. In the evening, Prince Giel and Erik d’n twidde will tap the first keg of Dommelsch Carnival beer during the twinning of Keiengat and Bremspoersengat.

On Sunday afternoon there is a masquerade ball and on Monday evening various mop orchestras will perform in the Oude Toren. The big parade of Waalre is on Saturday. Afterwards there will be music in the Oude Toren.

Nuenen

Nuenen caters for all ages. The senior carnival ball will start on Friday afternoon. People over 50 are welcome to enjoy live music, singing and dancing.

For the children there is a children’s carnival in the monastery on Saturday and Monday afternoon. There is also plenty to do for teenagers. A five-day teenage carnival is organized in the Residence.

After two years of no parade due to corona, it will continue this year. That’s on Sunday afternoon.

Veldhoven

In Veldhoven, carnival celebrations start on Friday evening with the real sing-along during Echt Veldhovenz Luidkeels. The children’s parade is on Saturday. After the procession, the key to the city is handed over.

Dijsselbloem and the three knights

Fourteen Eindhoven citizens received a decoration in this year’s ‘lintjesregen’. Three got a medal in the Order of Oranje-Nassau. Mayor Dijsselbloem awarded those in the Parktheater on Wednesday morning. 

Mimoun El Boujjoufi receives his decoration for his work promoting Taekwondo in Eindhoven and his work for the Dutch Taekwondo Association. “His efforts and competences contribute hugely to the quality and the organisation of Taekwondo in The Netherlands and the promotion and representation of the sport”. El Boujjoufi has made this contribution voluntarily since 2003 which merits his decoration as Knight in the Order of Oranje-Nassau.

Eindhoven News

Another person to receive this award is Irene Martens. Together with a few others, Martens took the initiative to found Eindhoven News. As our readers know, this media website for internationals in the region – immigrants, expats, refugees- brings the news of the region in English. During the Covid pandemic, Eindhoven News was an important source of information for international Eindhoven citizens.

“To ensure a daily supply of local news, Irene Martens formed partnerships with local media such as Studio040 and Omroep Brabant, as well as the Eindhoven municipality and companies employing internationals, such as Philiops and ASML. The number of readers who turned to EindhovenNews for their information grew steadily, and she also managed to engage a sizeable pool of volunteers from those circles, the municipality says.

Veteran House

Roy Meelhuysen was the third one to become Knight in the Order of Oranje-Nassau. Meelhuysen worked for the veterans in the region when he reitered from service in the Royal Dutch Army. He became chairperson of the Veterans Barabant South-East Foundation. His efforts also ensured the opening of Veteran House, a place where veterans can congregate.

This house is now an important facility for veterans in Eindhoven and the blueprint for such facilities elewhere in the country.

These books can teach kids about local history

These books can teach kids about local history

A series of children’s books about Eindhoven’s history has been created. 

There are three books for children in upper primary school. Stories about three iconic spots in Eindhoven: the Klokgebouw, the TU/e and the Parktheater. These are made-up stories based on the history of the three places in the city. “We did not have history books for children about Eindhoven. At least not written in this playful way”, Sandra Bosch, of Bookbase Publishing House, says.

Three stories
The series ‘Hier & Toen’ (‘Here & Then’) features a story about the TU/e. It takes place in the ’60s as the campus is being built. The booklet on the Klokgebouw is set in the Second World War during the Sinterklaas (Saint Nicholas) bombardment. And the story about the Parktheater is about a series of accidents with artists in the ’70s. All the books contain text and matching illustrations.

Eindhoven project
The works are written by authors residing in Eindhoven: Suzanne Wouda (Klokgebouw), Linda Amendt (Parktheater) and Bianca Mastenbroek (TU/e). The latter even studied at this university. “Funny that I now know much more about ‘my school’ than back then. I was mainly occupied with my studies at the time”, she says.

On Sunday, 4 November, the children’s book series will be presented in the Boekenberg in Eindhoven. The books are in stores already.

Kapsalon Theatre: without an audience, but to be watched live

Kapsalon Theatre: without an audience, but to be watched live

Parktheater Eindhoven participates with a variety of performances today in the national campaign ‘Kapsalon Theater’ (hairdressing theatre), to protest against the forced continuous closure of the cultural sector. Without an audience, but with a livestream and broadcast via Studio040.

Because of the national campaign, Parktheater is transformed into a hair salon for one day. The Barber Station Eindhoven is moving their business to the great hall of Parktheater. During their haircut, clients will be entertained by artist performances. This way, the artists can still practice their profession within the permitted measures and they have the space to spread this important message. In addition, the theatre performers will receive a haircut to give them a boost in a playful way.

Artists visiting the hair salon include Tigre Blanco, Rob Scheepers, Jeroens Clan, The Slampampers, Björn van der Doelen, Anneke van Giersbergen, Thijs van de Meeberg, Flamenco Encuentros, Camilla Blue, Ruud Borgers, Magic Tom & Yuri, Oscar Kocken (host) and Quintijn Lohman (side-kick).

The campaign is part of a national protest that was set up by, among others, cabaret artist Diederik Ebbinge. In many municipalities, theatres did not get permission for the campaign, but as far as Ebbinge is concerned, the campaign goes on anyway. In talkshow M on NPO1 last night, he said that the cultural sector, as the “goodie two-shoes” has decided “not to be that any more”.

The campaign can be seen from 10:00 to 17:00 on the website of Parktheater, on television at Studio040 and through the website and mobile app of Studio040.

Singalong on the Townhall square on Friday 21st

Singalong on the Townhall square on Friday 21st

This Friday (September 21) the yearly singalong (meezing… hence AMEEZING) festival takes place on the Stadhuisplein (the square in front of the city hall).  The singing starts around 21.00, but there is music as of 20.00.

The idea is that the Eindhovens gemengd mannenkoor (mixed male choir) sings various famous songs from the stage, and the audience is very much encouraged to sing a long. Not sure if this is typical Dutch, but half of the songs is, but that also means that half of the songs are international classics.

The weather may not be as great as during the week, so come a bit prepared. The event is for free, but you can sure contribute by singing along, and also by buying drinks and snacks to sponsor the event. But most of all, make sure you enjoy it.

DDW is back in full swing: exhibitions at almost ninety locations

The Dutch Design Week will be physically running at full speed again next month. Last year, the major Eindhoven design event held an online edition due to the corona pandemic, but that is not necessary this year.

This past spring, the organisation already announced that it was aiming for a physical event. That expectation is now also coming true, with the extra relaxation that will take effect next Saturday. Only DDW Music, with dozens of pop concerts in various venues, will not take place. However, there are exhibitions, workshops, and network meetings spread over about ninety locations in the city.

This year, designs will also reflect on the corona crisis, and addressing the question of where society is heading after this unusual period. As in every edition, experimental ideas from designers will be on display, as well as concrete solutions to social issues.

Ambassadors of the event this year are former Chief Government Architect Floris Alkemade and designer Christien Meindertsma, who studied at the Design Academy in Eindhoven.

The DDW runs from 16 to 24 October.

‘Prehistorisch Dorp most child-friendly museum in Brabant’

‘Prehistorisch Dorp most child-friendly museum in Brabant’

The Prehistorisch Dorp (prehistoric village) in Eindhoven has been declared the most child-friendly museum of Noord Brabant. Over the past year, 3,500 children visited various museums in the country and gave their opinion.

The Museumkids Award has been presented for ten consecutive years. This year, the Prehistorisch Dorp narrowly missed out on the title of ‘Kidsproof museum 2022’. The Discovery Museum in Kerkrade scored 9.1 and thus 0.1 higher than the Eindhoven open air museum.

Nevertheless, Yvonne Lammers of the Prehistorisch Dorp is proud. “I think it’s great to see that our employees were able to offer such an appreciated experience in these uncertain times. A trip back to the past and away from the daily routine. This award confirms that we are doing well with the public of the future”.

In Prehistorisch Dorp, visitors go back in time. Villagers tell stories about life in prehistory or the Middle Ages. The children can practise old crafts together, such as lighting a fire or making food.

Skating rink in Nuenen

The skating rink is an important attraction in Nuenen during these winter months. The skating rink, which was built in the heart of the village, has been popular so far. An initiative of the volunteer organisation Dwèrs op het IJs.

“I’ve already fallen five times”.

“It’s fun, but I’ve already fallen five times”, one of the young skaters says. The skating rink mainly attracts children. In addition to the skating rink, there are also other activities in and around the park. There is a silent disco, crafts afternoons and bingo at the so-called Winter Café.
