Brabantsdag Heeze is a complete experience, with a well-filled programme around the highlight, the largest theatre parade of the year. From 11.00 hours you can enjoy (street) theatre and music along the route and on the Sfeerpleinen. As soon as the towering theatre parade passes, the programme stops. Brabantsedag Heeze is the place where culture, music, and theater come together in a vibrant event on a Sunday in August. Starting at 11 AM, Heeze is transformed into a lively cultural hub. The theater parade is, of course, the highlight of the day, but before and after there is plenty to experience in the Pearl of Brabant. Before the sixteen impressive parade floats fill the streets of Heeze, the pre-parade already creates a fantastic atmosphere. Along the route, spectators are thoroughly entertained by various acts such as Close Act Theatre with I Puppets, TukkersConnexion Classic Rally Ride, The Italians, The Timecruisers from Abacus Theatre, Luc Vaesen ‘The Peddler’, and Brigadier Bob Jeroen Engeln. These acts provide excitement and thrill as the audience gathers and prepares for the theater parade. An event every week that begins at 18:00 on Tuesday, repeating indefinitely An event every week that begins at 12:30 on Thursday, repeating until October 12, 2028 2023 Instead of worrying about energy bills how would it feel to live in a house that is energy positive That is what is on offer in the picturesque village of Heeze, just outside Eindhoven, where developer Ballast Nedam is building the country’s most sustainable – yet still affordable – homes Natuurrijk is a small development of 82 properties in rural Heeze (pronounced “hay-ze”) just 20 minutes by car or train from the bustle of the big city combining the charm of an authentic village with the proximity of Eindhoven’s facilities All the homes in the development are being built with solar panels and green techniques with prices ranging from an affordable €250,000 to around €800,000 for a large detached house But eight of the properties will be extra special and an open outlook on beautiful woods and fields nearby it’s possible to build very sustainably,” says Rosa Bos a real estate developer with Ballast Nedam “These will be the most sustainable terraced houses in the Netherlands: more than 90% bio-based This kind of thing doesn’t often come to the market The sale of these properties will start soon building will start in 2024 and the development will be finished in 2025 and the houses will generate as much energy as they use.” Eindhoven, which is a magnet for new technology firms and a host of internationals coming to the Netherlands, is promoting new housing with the help of a €75 million state budget for 3160 homes Another appealing real-estate development in Eindhoven is Berckelbosch – inspired by the Dutch word for “birch tree” – built for both local tastes and expat appeal Just 10 minutes from the city centre, but still bordering on a new park and beautiful nature, Berckelbosch is a new neighbourhood of classic 1930s-style houses complete with solar panels and modern features have already won an award for nature-inclusive design preserving the tree structure of the area so that while the houses feel new New-build houses such as these are particularly attractive for expats “Estate agents can help people who aren’t familiar with the process of buying in the Netherlands There’s no overbidding and you can have your house made as you want it “You also won’t have any maintenance surprises – because in an old house you might well find all the pipes need replacing or the woodwork is rotten and the costs for a plumber in the Netherlands can almost be as high as for a lawyer!” There are no restrictions on renting out these properties – unlike in other cities such as Amsterdam and Rotterdam – so even if an international left the Netherlands it should be possible for them to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage and keep the house as an investment And even if a new house doesn’t have a history the door is open for the buyer to make it part of their own story “The Eindhoven city poet Iris Penning has written a poem,” says Bos “and on a bench in front of each house For more information please visit Natuurrijk or Berckelbosch or contact the broker We could not provide the Dutch

What began as a simple parade with farmers’ carts in 1958 will again become an alluring event full of cultural history. On 26 August, the 61st Brabantsedag will take place in 2018 which is the product of the hard work of sixteen amateur groups creating social cohesion as it passes through the community of the Pearl of Brabant The birthplace of the event is Herberg De Zwaan (The Swan Inn) directly adjacent to the drive of Heeze Castle the plan was hatched to enact a yearly culture-historical parade From the first procession of artisans in 1958 the parade has grown into a mobile Brabant history lesson wrapped in a theatre production The spectacle attracts thirty thousand (extra)-regional visitors Not bad for a municipality counting approximately ten thousand inhabitants The amateur acting groups manage to portray an entire story during the parade It’s not for nothing that Brabantsedag has been added to the National Inventory of Non-Material Cultural Heritage as set out in the international UNESCO treaty skills and rituals and aids in the passing down of this heritage from generation to generation Due to the sixtieth anniversary of the event last year the organisation was awarded the Silver Tulip by the Eindhoven Press Club Chairwoman Boukje van Ettro is terribly appreciative noting and expressing the sentiment in the name of the thousands of volunteers A solid quarter of the community in Heeze is actively involved The procession alone counts for two thousand actors Behind the scenes are easily another two thousand people who act as sponsors ‘Do you know Brabantsedag and are you joining?’ isn’t even a question Authentic Heezeners take it in with their mother’s milk That community feeling is something to treasure emphasizes Boukje: “A neighbour day can’t compare Brabantsedag is the way to meet all of Heeze At every set-up site people from outside Heeze sign up That’s also one of the reasons why the provincial administration has embraced Brabantsedag; the King’s Commissioner and provincial deputies are present every year asylum seekers participated in the set-up of the floats Last week a volunteer signed up who has only been living here for a week comes every year for the entire week and camps out In 2016 his grandson was allowed to participate because a group lacked a pusher Even contrary teens are willing to join mum and dad and for younger children the event is a mobile Efteling Clever move by the organisation: kids up to 12-years-old get free entry; parents and grandparents will join anyway Even newer generations are being infected by the bug: “Since a few years with a morning of information and workshops we had the first children parade within the same theme on our Saturday opening and the community garden was already full of float builders Based upon a shared theme – last year: Parade of Pleasure this year 2018: From Ravenstein to Roosendaal – the float builders choose a historical Brabant issue from before 1957 and have lots of freedom to translate it into a mobile theatre spectacle the meters-high construction tents spring up all over Heeze and lines are being memorized and brainstormed at kitchen tables and in bars;
