The area's
The Batavierenfeest has 3 different areas where you can party with diverse music styles. In the big tent there will be all-round DJs and at 23:00 there will be the award ceremony of the Batavierenrace.
In the small tent you can really party, a band will play and the evening will be closed with a party DJ. Are you more of the electronic styles anyway? Between the trees on the Carillon field there is an outdoor stage, where different kinds of house, techno and maybe even some harder styles will be played.
