The fourteen Liberation Festivals are joining forces this year with one large online program. On May 5, enjoy more than 200 performances and activities from the comfort of your home.
Liberation Festivals
Unfortunately, in 2021 we will not be able to celebrate our freedom together by going to a festival or the 5 May concert on the Amstel. On the other hand, this year you can visit all fourteen Liberation Festivals in one day. The festivals all offer an online program that can be followed via liberationfestivals.nl
Own twist
All festivals give the online program their own twist. For example, the festival in Groningen broadcasts a visual radio spectacle from the old sugar factory. The organization in Zwolle provides, among other things, an online dance workshop for the elderly with music from the fifties. In addition, there will be a broadcast from that city with short performances, interviews and retrospectives at festivals from previous years. In Haarlem, the organizers will be hosting performances on two stages. The viewer decides for himself which performance he watches.
Ambassadors of Freedom
The artists Davina Michelle, Tino Martin and Jonna Fraser are this year’s Ambassadors of Freedom. On the holiday they connect the festivals with a broadcast from a special location. Until then, they will search for what freedom and lack of freedom mean to them in mini-documentaries.
