On the roof of Parking Garage Paardenveld, a small festival will take place on Saturday, September 13. Everyone is welcome to participate in various activities for free. The roof will open at 12:30 PM. The festival will end at 7:00 PM with a game of pétanque in the Pétanque bar on the ground floor. The festival is organized by the municipality, in collaboration with the entrepreneurs in the building.

“We are celebrating a new chapter in the future of the parking garage. We would like to do this with the neighborhood and the city. The garage will soon become a vibrant place, full of energy. I invite everyone to come and experience it on September 13,” said Alderman Eelco Eerenberg. The current entrepreneurs in the building will also present themselves that day. “You can learn to make radio, box with your parents, paddle, screen print, play pétanque, and of course there will be delicious snacks and drinks.”

The festival on September 13 is free and registration is not required. For some activities, it is advisable to reserve to ensure a spot. You can do that via this link to the website of Parking Garage Paardenveld. There you will also find more information about the festival and the activities.

The municipality has been the owner of the parking garage since early September this year. Over the next 10 years, the garage will receive new functions. The tenants on the ground floor and first floor can stay, and there will be space for creative, cultural, and social workplaces (incubators). The roof will be publicly accessible, focused on a combination of green, sports, play, meeting, and will partially have a commercial program and there will be a public toilet facility in or around the building.
