Kielegat carnival new Hoogheid announcement Breda, Digi Mart USA News (Breda, Netherlands): The Stichting Kielegat foundation opens the new carnival season today on the Grote Markt in Breda. The program begins at 1:11 p.m., featuring two stages and extra attention for young people.
The youngest Kielegatters begin the celebration early in the afternoon. At 2:00 p.m., Chef Soldaat takes the stage to bring the young revelers into the festive mood, followed by more artists and performances.
Between 1:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m., the Brakken can have their faces painted, giving the smallest celebrants room to enjoy the festivities of the Elfde van de Elfde, the traditional opening of the carnival season on November 11.
The Elfde van de Elfde attracts more carnival enthusiasts to the city center each year. For that reason, the celebration this year has two stages: one in front of City Hall and one on the Grote Markt Zuid.
Stichting Kielegat says this spreads the crowds more evenly across the market and gives visitors more space to celebrate together.
The protocol portion of the event takes place on the stage in front of City Hall, where traditional customs have their own place. A special moment follows at 5:11 p.m., when Stichting Kielegat announces the new Hoogheid.
With the adjusted program, Stichting Kielegat aims to bring generations together. Established customs keep their place, and room is also made for the carnival celebrants of the future.
Chairman Rutger Westenburg explained the reasoning: “Carnival is a festival of unity, for young and old. Young people want more events of their own and renewal, and as Stichting Kielegat we want to go along with that fully.
By making room in our program on ‘Elluf Elluf,’ we ensure that tradition and the future of our festival go hand in hand.”
Next to City Hall, a sales point will offer the new motto medal, emblems, and other red-and-orange Kielegat merchandise. The new Kielegatsjop also opens that day at Nieuwstraat 5.
