For two years it was quiet in the southern cities of the Netherlands, but it is finally here. The time of dressing up crazy, drinking tons of beer, cheating on your girlfriend and 5 days of partying has started. It’s time for the Dutch tradition: carnival! Also during carnival, we can’t get enough of hardstyle, so we made a list of hardstyle carnival events you can visit this weekend. Oh, and we made up some tips to survive the massive party.
