De Parade
In the summer of 2025, the Parade, the traveling theater festival with its colorful tents, terraces and restaurants, will return to the Martin Luther Kingpark and will set up its tents again in the 4 largest cities in the Netherlands: Eindhoven, The Hague, Utrecht and Amsterdam. Please note: the dates and times for 2025 are an indication.
De Parade
A festival for everyone
There is always something to do for young and old at the Parade. Whether you are a die-hard theatre lover or come for the pancakes, the Ferris wheel and the conviviality, you will never go wrong. Theatre makers and musicians walk around the festival grounds, who themselves take care of the promotion of their (often short) performances. These shows take place in a tent, outdoors or at a secret location. Let yourself be surprised!
Children's Parade
In addition to the evening performances, there is an extensive Children's Parade every day with theater performances, music performances and workshops. For example, you can do carpentry and painting, float in the Zweef, dance and bake your own poffertjes. Or sing and swing along for free on Sunday afternoon with a children's band or with musicians. Or make your own show outfit to parade in.
For more information, visit the De Parade and KinderParade websites.
