Christmas in Oud Kampen
On Saturday 21 and Sunday 22 December 2019, the historic city center of Kampen will once again be dominated by the open-air theater festival 'Christmas in Old Kampen' for two days. A large part of the city center is used as a theater; on stages, on the street, in cozy neighborhoods and alleys and in the shop windows. All sorts of theater companies and the children of the local music school provide spectacular, moving, impressive and humorous performances. They sing, dance and make music. Often by residents of the streets themselves!

And of course the children are not forgotten, let them float in the nostalgic whirligig or ride a round in a real steam train.
