In ten days no fewer than 450,000 visitors came to Park Hilaria in Eindhoven.

On the eighteenth edition of the fair, from 2 to 11 August, on the Kennedylaan, there were various new attractions. These included names such as the Devil Rock, and for the first time there was collaboration between Museum by the City and Park Hilaria. Through this collaboration, various attractions were created that were all about the present, past and future of transport. In addition, music lovers in the Biergarten could listen to music by schlager singer Thorsten von Lippe Biesterveld.

Project leader Mariola Scheepstra is therefore very pleased with this edition: “We are very happy and proud that together with all operators, volunteers, crew, first aid and security officers we have once again had such a great party.”

Missed thousands of euros

For operator Gilbert de Poorter of shooting tent Special Forces, Park Hilaria 2019 has become a funfair to forget. The police have confiscated their air pressure guns because they seemed “too real” and the operator missed out on thousands of euros. This while, according to Frank Vale from BOVAK, the National Association of Fairground Business Holders, the Rotterdam police still checked and approved the weapons four years ago. Police officers in Weert also did a shooting competition at the stand last year.

Vale has therefore called in a lawyer.

Hilaria Park will take place next year from 31 July to 9 August.

Visit ‘fun places’ during the upcoming Open Monument Days

The annual Open Monument Days are being held again this weekend, on Saturday, 14 and Sunday, 15 September. This year’s theme is ‘Plekken van Plezier’ (rough translation – Places you Enjoy)

On these two days, thousands of monuments around the country open their doors to visitors. When you think of monuments, you generally picture old building. Not so – natural heritage sites throughout the Netherlands also included in these Open Monument Days.

Eindhoven is no exception. The Stadswandelpark is undoubtedly a place in the city people enjoy. This weekend you can visit sites like the Observatory, Sint Joris church, and Park Theater, in and around the park. There will also be guided tours of the park.

Heritage signs dot the city

The new heritage signs in and around the park tell the story of the park’s history. These signs are part of a series of more than 40 that give background about Eindhoven’s history. They are placed throughout the city.

Other monuments that will be open to the public include the Radio Monument and the Mariënhage complex, which will soon become the DomusDela. Various other activities have also been planned. For example, entrance into the Van Abbe Museum will be free on 13, 14, and 15 September.

The Open Monuments Days were first held in the Netherlands in 1987. They form part of a larger project called The European Heritage Days.

The Irisbuurt (Iris neighbourhood) in Stratum is to get a new liberation tree. It will be planted this evening (Wednesday) just before the liberation parade starts.

The old tree was blown over during a storm earlier this year. That tree was planted in 1945. On a stormy Tuesday evening in June, the colossal tree was torn out of the ground, roots and all.

Irisbuurt’s children will plant the new tree. Their fathers and grandfathers helped plant the previous tree when they were children themselves. The tree-planting ceremony starts at 18:30. It should take about half an hour. Afterwards, those interested can go to the torchlight parade at Stadhuisplein.
