Europe Netherlands Eindhoven & North Brabant Festivals & Events Not to be Missed Kaapstad Tilburg

Kaapstad Tilburg

The guide was updated: 2024-09-16

In the middle of Summer. The city centre of Tilburg gets hijacked by artists for a weekend. We question the world as we know it. We poke and prick, turn things around and look at the city as if we were seeing her for the first time. We fight fixed ideas with our own weapons; with creativity and wonder. Audience is invited to see and play. Nothing is more normal.
