Festival de Ballade in Terneuzen
Festival de Ballade takes place at the Kopje of Canada on July 4, 5, and 6, 2025!
The Festival de Ballade in Terneuzen is a unique event with a special history. What began in 2017 as a reunion concert for the legendary Zeeuws-Vlaamse band Lamaketta's quickly grew into an iconic three-day festival. In no time, it attracted more than eight thousand enthusiastic visitors. The success of this event was not only due to the music but also to the beautiful location.
What makes the Ballade Festival so special is its impressive setting. While gigantic container ships pass closely by the festival grounds on their way to Antwerp, they create a spectacular spectacle. The constant shipping traffic through the locks is a visual highlight, and the sunset over the Scheldt completes the experience. The location itself is an unmistakable part of the festival, giving it a unique charm and character.
The involvement of Terneuzen Hotels in the Ballade Festival is a great example of how local businesses are committed to the cultural development of the region. By supporting the festival, we contribute to the preservation of the rich Zeeland heritage and the promotion of local art and music. It is a way to strengthen and share Terneuzen’s culture with a wider audience.
Additionally, Terneuzen Hotels aims to make a meaningful contribution to the local community through its involvement in the festival. While providing comfortable accommodations is certainly important, we also want to enhance the quality of life for local residents. The Ballade Festival creates a vibrant and lively atmosphere in the city, where people come together, gain new experiences, and enjoy the music. This strengthens local pride and increases the sense of community connection.
