Carnival season preparations in the Netherlands

Overview

Preparations for the carnival season are underway across various Dutch regions, involving both cultural exhibitions and safety initiatives. In the Limburg region, Heerlen is launching the “Mijn Carnaval” exhibition on November 15, which highlights the historical links between the mining industry and carnival traditions. To address public safety, the municipality of Roermond has introduced the “Maak het niet normaal” campaign, which includes opening a “safe space” on November 11 to assist women facing harassment or intimidation during festivities.

In other areas, structural changes are being implemented to support local artists. In Deurne, organizers for the DMG Carnavalskraker election and the Deurnes Concours Carnavalesk have adjusted jury processes and competition formats. Meanwhile, in Haorendam, the season has officially commenced with the “D’n Aftrap” event, featuring a new royal court led by Prince Patrick and Princess Jolanda.
