Netherlands Events and Festivals

8/28/2009 - 8/30/2009Tasting Event (Preuvenemint)

In the heart of Maastricht, the central square fills with more than 40 marquees and stalls at the end of August for a drinking, dining and entertainment experience that runs into the early hours. Live music is played on a permanent stage and visitors can choose between bar and restaurant tents and smaller food stalls, all of them offering delicious fare. Payment is by prepaid vouchers ('preuvene-lappe'), enabling diners to 'graze' freely while wandering through the festive square, which is evocatively lit at night, and to enjoy the lively, party atmosphere. Many of the mouth-watering specialities are reasonably priced, while fine cuisine will consume vouchers rapidly.
