After more than 1000 nights, finalĀ­ly shoulĀ­der-to-shoulĀ­der again at the VierĀ­daagseĀ­feesten, that is a moment to rememĀ­ber togethĀ­er. ThereĀ­fore, for the first time we will organĀ­ise a grand pubĀ­lic openĀ­ing on SatĀ­urĀ­day afterĀ­noon 16 July. Cabaret artist Pieter Derks will address the city, not on one, but on 17 stages simulĀ­taĀ­neĀ­ousĀ­ly: ā€‹ā€œThis is the week that this city norĀ­malĀ­ly holds its breath for and adjusts its heart rate toā€. 

What will happen?

Between 12.00 and 15.30 hours, the programme will start at various locations. At 16.00 sharp we raise our glasses, count down together and the Vierdaagsefeesten are officially opened. Your first cup is free on Saturday afternoon when you buy a drink. Per stage that participates in the opening a limited number will be made available, so be on time! From the opening moment at 16.00 hours, the new recycling cup system will start. You exchange your empty cup when you get a new drink at the bar, or you pay 50 cents sustainability surcharge. That way Nijmegen stays clean, and the cups that are handed in can be used to make new cups.

What is the openĀ­ing programme?

Just as the VierĀ­daagseĀ­feesten offer someĀ­thing for everyĀ­one throughĀ­out the week, this is also reflectĀ­ed in the varĀ­iĀ­ous openĀ­ing proĀ­grammes of the parĀ­ticĀ­iĀ­patĀ­ing venues. In a nutĀ­shell, alphabetically:

What else is new? New stages and festival wristband

Besides this new joint public opening, the Vierdaagsefeesten has even more new things in store. There are no less than 6 new stages: Park Kronenburg, Bloem (from Valkhof Festival), Kelfkensbos Festival, Villa Groots Plein (In de Betouwstraat), Bloemerstraat and Ganzenheuvel. In addition, this year you can optionally purchase a festival wristband, and in a limited edition. This new wristband gives you exclusive access to a fun extra every day for just ten euros, and you can use the toilets all week long without having to pay. From ball pit disco caravan to ice cold art experience and from drag queen bingo show to intoxicating ritual: let yourself be surprised and immerse yourself in an extra party experience! Of course, our regular programme remains free of charge. The festival band programme is made possible by Nexperia from Nijmegen, the new premium partner of the Vierdaagsefeesten.
