Summer events in Enschede
With a little help of Mother Nature, the summer events in enschede start sunny on Queensday, april 30. On that day the Dutch celebrate the monarchy and its probably the bigggest countrywide party in Holland. Queen's Day is known for its "freemarket" (Dutch: vrijmarkt) , where everybody is allowed to sell things in the streets. But beside that there is much music, gaming for childeren, performances and much lots of food en drinks. The night before queensday is also very crowded when all bars and disco's are open and people get in the mood for the following day.
Few days later (may 5) is liberationday in holland. On this day there are often musical activities in the city.
During july and august, every thurdays there are parties on the old market square. Mostly build up around a theme such as Salsa, Blues, Reggae, Volksmusik or Dance.
