On Saturday 5 September, Almere Centrum comes alive with Connecting People, a free and vibrant festival celebrating culture, diversity and connection.
From 12:00 to 17:00, the Esplanade becomes a lively meeting place filled with music, dance, delicious food and experiences from around the world. Explore a colourful multicultural market with more than 40 stalls, enjoy international dishes and discover performances by artists and dance groups from different cultures.
One of the highlights is the spectacular cultural parade, starting at 12:30 from the Esplanade. Participants dressed in traditional clothing and carrying flags will bring the diversity and traditions of Almere to life as they make their way through the city centre.
Connecting People is all about making everyone feel welcome. Visitors can join an accessible sign-language workshop, experience wheelchair basketball or discover what it is like to navigate Almere without sight.
Whether you come with friends, family or simply want to discover something new, Connecting People is the perfect way to experience the world without leaving Almere.
