In mid-September, the Netherlands hosted the ‘Rolling Steel’ event at Sint Isidorushoeve, which featured approximately 300 historical military vehicles, a World War II battle reenactment in Boekelo, and Spitfire aircraft flyovers. Concurrently, the Haags Openbaar Vervoer Museum saw high attendance during the Open Monumentenweekend, where visitors utilized historical trams.

Upcoming programming includes a musical production of ‘Pippi en de Piraten’ at CC De Plomblom in Ninove, Belgium, scheduled for November. Additionally, the Cruquius Museum in Haarlemmermeer, Netherlands, is set to participate in the Grazende Zwaan festival in late September, offering heritage storytelling sessions for families.
