Food festival
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.

TREK Festival continues to innovate
Each year, new elements are added to the festival grounds. This season, for instance, there will be a cosy 'Sangria & Bubbles Bar'. Here you can enjoy Mediterranean-style Sangria and sparkling wines, paired with a delicious oyster and/or Spanish bite.
The city parks are also home to a grand wine terrace, a Biergarten and a cocktail bar. There are also several stages for up-and-coming musical talent. The 'Mayor of TREK' welcomes visitors, the theatre caravan provides the necessary cultural entertainment and visitors who want to go to confession can go to the priest of the Burgundian village.
TREK's smallest visitors are also catered for: they can have fun at the children's theatre, during a cooking workshop or with the wide range of old Dutch games.
