🎭 Did you know?
The Netherlands has a rich tradition of festivals and celebrations, and one of the most colorful is Carnival. Dating back centuries, Carnival was originally a pre-Lenten festival, a time for communities to dress up, sing, dance, and enjoy feasts before the 40 days of fasting.
In cities like Eindhoven, this tradition has evolved into vibrant parades, elaborate costumes, brass bands, and lively street celebrations—a joyful mix of history, culture, and community spirit.
From medieval masks to modern floats, Carnival is a perfect example of how Dutch culture celebrates creativity, togetherness, and fun.
