Liberation Day Festival In Utrecht (Bevrijdingsfestival Utrecht)

5 May is Liberation Day in the Netherlands. The day marks the stop of the career of the Nazi regime in the u . S . A . During the World War II.

There had been so many bad stories advised about the conflict and they all come back at some stage in this time of the year, mostly on TV and culminating at the day of liberation. I in my opinion have been to 2 transit awareness camps within the Netherlands (Vugt and Westerbork) and the dying and labor attention camp in Auschwitz-Birkenau, Poland.

However, Liberation Day nowadays has evolved at the side of the instances and it now adapts a greater customary subject about FREEDOM. So you may say it's far Freedom Day Festival =)

It may be very well timed that the Liberation Day this 12 months fell on the equal day as the Ascension Day (Hemelvaartsdag) due to the fact then it's far an official public vacation--ergo, no paintings! Liberation Day is handiest a non-operating public excursion each five years inside the Netherlands. So Dutchman and I determined to check out the Liberation Day Festival nearby at Park Transwijk.

The ultimate time we attended this pageant (that is a yearly element) was perhaps nine-10 years in the past? It has been a while for certain and we have been in for a pleasant wonder.

The entire festival installation turned into unique. There at the moment are official gates with safety take a look at, this means that the open park is barricaded with fences and volunteer watchers. There had been additionally several podiums placed in different sections of the park. About 5 podiums in overall, each with its personal theme. The whole environment changed into a far cry from what we've skilled before that Dutchman and I felt unexpectedly very old, haha. The young people of nowadays do matters differently, huh.

Everyone changed into in high spirits, playing and partying. That is what I name freedom; freedom to celebration and experience life, which humans returned then in the course of the Nazi Germany occupation didn’t have. Or in different parts of the world wherein strife and inequality nevertheless exists.

The torch of freedom.

People dancing with headphones. There turned into an extended line to this dancefloor.

One of the podiums referred to as Sena Talent Stage.

People popping out of the home windows of a close-by (workplace) constructing to watch the festivities.
