You have to be here in Eindhoven today with 11/11

By

Lampegat lets you set your own hours, because it's time! It's 11/11 and that means the official opening of the carnival season. Unfortunately, this year it falls on a Tuesday, so for many people it just means going to the office or school first. Normally we start eleven eleven at 11:11, but Eindhoven, uuhhh… Lampegat has approached it a bit differently this year. Today, it really kicks off in the city from 15:00. So, for everyone who has already put on their carnival outfit under their work clothes, here's what to do this afternoon:

For all the die-hards

From 13:11, all the die-hard carnival-goers can already be found in the city. The Great Lampegat Lunch Pub Quiz at the Muziekgebouw will then kick off. Unfortunately, tickets for this event are already sold out, but no worries, after this cozy warm-up it's time for the official opening of Elluf Elluf at the Markt, where the city will really go wild.

The big opening at the Markt

Yesss: Because at 15:00 it's finally time: the opening party at the Markt starts. Okay, okay, not everyone's shift is over at three o'clock, but luckily this party goes on until the late hours. Outside, in front of the Muziekgebouw, a stage is ready for a lineup of Lampegat artists and bands that will get the party started. Luc Vaesen, Tante Loes, De Dorini’s, De Valse Kraaien, Mosterd na de Maaltijd, and Heddewellus are in attendance (and yes, if you're from Brabant, these names will sound familiar).

On Stratumseind

For all the young carnival-goers among us, Stratum is the place to be. Be aware, although Stratum has my heart, this long nightlife street can sometimes be a bit of a challenge to navigate through the crowd. It's narrow, so expect some pushing and shoving, but hey, that's part of it, right? Don't worry about which pub is the best, because trust me: they're all fun. But for the real connoisseurs, here are my favorites:

Lempke is already one of the first to arrive, so you can already enjoy a nice drink and prepare for the chaos.
Miller opens at 15:11 and has a deal you can't miss: when you buy a box of Flügel, you get a Flügel iron-on logo for your jacket. Fashion first: Because this is really the perfect accessory for your carnival outfit.
Costa opens from 14:11 and keeps you entertained all day with a program. Danny Panadero kicks off the party at Costa. amayzine Café de Kleine.
opens its doors at 18:00. And at 23:00 there's a closing performance by Glenn van Dooren – the one and only. De Peppers.
is also there early. Breakfast with beer? Well, that was possible here. They go on until 2 AM. Looking for a hangover snack spot? Check out these hotspots.

On to the Wilhelminaplein.

Here you often go with the whole family; you find people of all ages here. At Café Wilhelmina, from 19:11 it's time for a carnival tradition: ”

Elluf Elluf, Don't let yourself be put down”. This is the moment for a visit from the city prince and the farewell of the 35th Prince Bock”. d’n Urste. So, all big fans, be. there . Oh, by the way: just because the tradition starts at 19:11 doesn't mean you can already go there for a drink in the afternoon. By the way, are you coming from above the rivers to celebrate here in Brabant?. Here are 4 things you need to know. Preparing for carnival.

Besides the income today, you can do more to prepare well for carnival: This year, the municipality of 's-Hertogenbosch (in collaboration with Eindhoven among others) is doing something we really need to mention: with the emblem ‘

Nie graoie, mar zwaoie!’’ you say no to inappropriate behavior during carnival. Although carnival is about’and partying, it can often be overlooked due to the crowds. It's important that everyone looks out for each other. This emblem raises awareness about inappropriate behavior. leuke The best part is: the emblem is completely free.
