Aan de Waterkant Venlo: free music, theatre and family life by the Maas

Aan de Waterkant runs free at Venlo’s Lage Loswal from 9 to 26 July, combining music, theatre, family programmes and food beside the Maas. It suits a flexible weekend visit; choose a dated programme on the official calendar and then check the weather.

• The temporary riverside living room is the protagonist, letting people eat, talk and remain between performances rather than leave after one show.
• Individual dates, including 19 July, have their own DJs and acts; the audience and format change daily.
• Free entry lowers the barrier, but outdoor capacity and weather matter; verify start time, age suitability and payment options.

Hokimi field note: Choose one performance you will not miss and arrive early enough to sit by the water; the atmosphere before and after the act is part of the value.
