TREK travelling food festival visits Rotterdam - info, dates

 

From 9 to 12 May 2024, the Netherlands' biggest travelling food festival kicks off its new season in Rotterdam. Foodies from far and wide can enjoy the delicious street food prepared with love in beautiful food trucks in the Vroesenpark. Festival TREK also guarantees a surprising range of entertainment with acts and performances by theatre artists, Dutch comedians and musical talent from the region. Festival TREK is a free festival and suitable for young and old.  

 

 

Only the best and most beautiful food trucks pass Festival TREK's strict selection. They take into account a good price-quality ratio and a varied offer, with plenty of choice for vegetarians and vegans. For their first order, visitors pay a one-time contribution of €2.95 for an environmentally friendly hard plastic festival TREK cup, which can be handed in at the bar for a 'new' (rinsed) cup with every subsequent order. (There is no returnable deposit on this cup.) 

 

Visitors also appreciate the festival because of its relaxed atmosphere and surprising entertainment with acts and performances by regional talent. The festival grounds include a town hall, church, theatre tent and various fairground classics. In the evening, visitors can enjoy the Silent Disco and a DJ who will get everyone moving with the greatest hits of all time.

 

 

Every year, new elements are added to the festival site. This year, a genuine birdcage, complete with a TREK bird, will be erected, and visitors can enjoy a Mediterranean experience with various types of Sangria and sparkling wines at a cosy ‘Sangria & Bubbles Bar’. This is paired with delicious oysters and/or Spanish bites.

There will also be a large wine terrace, a Beer Garden, and a cocktail bar. Additionally, several stages are set up for up-and-coming musical talent, with extra performances this season due to a high number of applications. The 'Burger Mayor of TREK' welcomes visitors, the theatre caravan provides the necessary cultural entertainment, and visitors with a nice message for someone else can turn to the postman of the gastronomic village.

The youngest visitors of TREK have also been considered: they can enjoy themselves at the children's theatre, the nostalgic fairground attractions, or with a wide range of traditional Dutch games.s.

 

 

The largest food festival in the Netherlands will be travelling across the country, landing in nine city parks in Rotterdam, Maastricht, Utrecht, Nijmegen, Den Bosch, Amsterdam, The Hague, and Tilburg.
