It’s almost time for the biggest and hardest Dutch Carnaval event - Karnaval Festival! While Saturday is already nearly sold out, Sunday is where the real madness happens. From insane acts to a frikandel eating contest, and even free ticket giveaways, there’s no excuse to miss out. Still need convincing? Here’s why Sunday at Karnaval Festival is the ultimate Carnaval experience.

1. The hardest & biggest indoor Carnaval party 🎭

3. More than just hardstyle – welcome to the Polonaise Plein 🎺

If you need a little break from the harder styles, we’ve got you covered. The Polonaise Plein brings you classic Carnaval vibes with artists like Django Wagner, Vieze Jack, and also a bit of 'gezellige' hardstyle by Outsiders & De buren van de Bass Chaserz - the duo responsible for this year’s Karnaval Festival anthem! This stage is all about a good mix between Hardstyle with Dutch Carnaval classics - experience the best of both worlds!

4. Your favorite hardstyle artists… in crazy Carnaval outfits 🤡
