Sunday, Aug. 27, is the last day of vacation for children in the South. Want to end the summer vacation right? Take the kids to Heeze that Sunday - to the Brabantsedag!
The Brabantsedag is the perfect outing for kids. Why? We give you 5 good reasons below.
1. All-day entertainment
Only come for the Parade? Then you'll be busy all afternoon. But even before the Parade starts there is plenty to do in the village center. There is street theater, musicians on various squares and special entertainment for children.
Secretly, many wagon builders are already walking to the staging area in costume. So plenty of fun beforehand!
2. Unconscious enjoyment of culture and history
The Brabantsedag cannot be compared to a trip to a museum, for example. Historical events literally come to life through the play of the actors, with the wagon as a backdrop. Much more fun to watch! Children do not realize that they unconsciously learn a lot.
In 2023, 16 interesting inventions and findings pass by that you yourself might not even know were originally conceived by a Brabander - from the Duchy of Brabant, that is. From the development of asphalt to the Big Bang theory, everything is covered.
3. The wagon builders as an example
Children are full of dreams. Some want to go into theater, others can't get enough of crafts. At the Brabantsedag, children are drawn into theater and are amazed at what is being built. The wagon builders demonstrate interactively what can be achieved by working together.
4. Understandable for everyone - including little kids
Trust us, kids see more than adults think. And the cars are full of details. So extra fun watching! The texts in the Parade Guide help you understand the rationale behind the themes of the floats. Every text in the Parade Guide is translated into plain language. No need for you to bother explaining it to them!
5. Free entrance for children up to 12 years old
Yes really, children up to and including 12 do not need an entrance ticket. That's another windfall! And no, it's not scary. Not even for children under 12. On most wagons, even (even small) children participate as true actors.
