Unfortunately it is not possible to buyout a terrace exclusively for your group. We want to welcome our audience in the heart of the festival and make sure that they can take place on a terrace. That is why we always want to have places available. Please contact us in advance to see what the possibilities for your group are.
Unfortunately it is not an option to buyout a performance completely. For the artists it is nice to have a mixed audience. When the capacity at a venue is not sufficient because of the size of your group, it might be an option to choose for another performance. Or the group might be divided between different performances or times.

We think it is important that our festival is a safe place to experience theatre. To ensure that any tensions are removed, we intend to apply trigger warnings in the information of a performance.
On our website we inform you about the use of stroboscopic effects and/or loud sounds.
We do not provide detailed information about what exactly happens in a performance, some spectators like to be surprised.

Boulevard has received the golden Green Key certificate in 2023, 2024 and 2025.
Green Key is the international quality mark for organizations in the tourism and recreation sector that are serious and verifiable about sustainability. Green Key Nederland has three levels: Bronze, Silver and Gold. The more optional measures, the higher the final result. Boulevard was inspected twice by an external inspector: once before and once during the festival.
The judge assessed many aspects; from communication, energy, cleaning, sustainable purchasing to textile use. These aspects are used to assess whether you receive a Green Key quality mark. Such a quality mark shows that Boulevard goes a step further than regular legislation and regulations.
You can read more on our sustainability measures on the following page.
The festival will take place from 6 - 16 August 2026. On Thursday 18 June at noon the ticket sale for Friends of the festival will start. On Tuesday 23 June at noon the regular ticketsale will start.
