Since 1985, Theaterfestival Boulevard has offered a stage to several thousand artists from Holland and abroad. They played at a total of 247 different locations in and around 's-Hertogenbosch, the city that is linked to the festival. This year, Boulevard once again offers a summer festival experience for both theater fans and people who like to have a drink en enjoy the culinary options at the festivalheart. 

Boulevard 2025 will take place from August 7 to 17 in the city of Den Bosch. The festival heart is once again on the Parade.

A Fortress

My father-in-law came to me with a scrap of paper. The last paragraph of an article from de Volkskrant — the rest was missing. A yellow post-it note was stuck to the crumpled piece of paper: “Nina, something for Boulevard?”

My father-in-law, who lives in our garden house, is an activist. He gets worked up about things and turns that into action. He writes letters to the newspaper, attends demonstrations, brings people together, sets up all kinds of initiatives, and likes to place signs in what is now also our front yard.

Standing there, he added: “Maybe you could have these four sentences from that article printed on a sign or something for Boulevard.”
“I’ll have a look,” I replied.
