Deventer Op Stelten continues this weekend

Deventer Op Stelten turns a weekend city trip into something more memorable than shopping: street theatre, outdoor acts and the historic centre all fit into one flexible route.

• When and where: 3-5 July in Deventer city centre. Many outdoor acts can be watched casually, while selected performances may require tickets or early arrival according to the official programme.
• Who it suits: Families, friends planning a short trip, budget users looking for outdoor festival energy, and expats who prefer visual performance over language-heavy theatre.
• Before you go: Check the official timetable and map because performances are spread across squares, parks and quays. Also check train return times, parking and weather.

Hokimi field note: Do not arrive without a programme. Choose two or three must-see spots first, then leave the rest of the day flexible.
