During the weekend of July 5, 6 and 7, 2024, a brand new cultural festival will be organized in Nieuwpoort. Called "Langs de Promenade," the event will take place along the Havengeulpromenade that connects Nieuwpoort-City with Nieuwpoort-Bad. The well-known walking and cycling road will be transformed into a large open-air cultural stage for the occasion. Let your senses be stimulated by a diverse range of street theater, music, performances and entertainment for young and old at a unique location. 

The location for this cultural festival was not chosen at random, as the wooden promenade is celebrating its 20th anniversary! Double celebration, then.
