Brabant is gearing up for the biggest annual gala, the Brabantsedag. This Sunday, Heeze will transform into a colourful conviviality. If you want free tickets to Brabantsedag, then read on…
The Brabantsedag (Brabant Day) is a characteristic concept in Brabant, the Netherlands and even beyond. Every year, on the last Sunday of August, a theatrical parade draws through the streets of the village of Heeze and brings history to life in a contemporary way. The parade with sixteen floats is unique and becomes more original and innovative every year. What started small in 1958 now attracts over 35,000 visitors every year.
The audience is fascinated with the impressive theatre decors, its expressive or endearing theatre play, gravity, music, humour, reality, and imagination. In short, the Brabantsedag is a unique experience with culture and entertainment for children and adults.
The Brabantsedag is an event in which a large part of the community is involved. Almost every inhabitant of Heeze is involved with the event. Brabantsedag is listed in the National Inventory of Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2013.
