Are you looking for a hotel during carnival in Maastricht? Discover Dormio Hotel De Prins van Oranje and celebrate carnival in the biggest carnival city of the Netherlands! Carnival in Maastricht, or 'vastelaovend in Mestreech', as the locals say, takes place every year at the end of February or beginning of March and lasts three days: from Sunday to Tuesday. Annually, this colourful spectacle attracts many visitors from Limburg and other parts of the Netherlands. Carnival is celebrated in the streets, the many pubs and during the Big Parade of Maastricht that passes through the entire city centre.
Special street carnival in Maastricht
Carnival in Maastricht is different from carnival in the rest of Limburg. Much more attention is given to the costumes and face painting. Moreover, for the most part carnival in Maastricht is celebrated outside. The so-called street carnival is a combination of carnival as they celebrate it in Rhineland and the Burgundian carnival and has several unique elements, such as the Boonte Störm (the big parade) and the street carnival with dozens of Zate Hermeniekes (local brass bands). A unique experience!
Did you know that...
the last day of carnival is also called 'Fat Tuesday', from the French mardi gras? Before the traditional fasting starts, you can indulge in the gastronomic delights of Maastricht!
