Pinksterfeesten

Since 1876 Delfzijl turns during Pentacost (in Dutch: Pinksteren) into a city filled with festivities. People having a party from the Wednesday prior to Whit Sunday until the Monday after. There is a big fair, fanfares and lots of perfomances by national and local artists.

During Sunday and Monday the towncentre, pubs and bars are all packed with people. Lot's of people that once lived in Delfzijl are coming back during these days, so it's often a big reunion as well.

Tomorrow evening the festivities will come to an end with a big firework in the harbour. And after that peace and tranquility return to the city. Next year it will all start over again.
