Festival Culture on the Corner
On Saturday, June 1, 2024, there will again be the Festival Cultuur op de Hoek. On that day, Dordrecht amateur art associations will be given a stage in the (inner) city. There will be performances, workshops, open houses and an exhibition; a great way to get acquainted with the many associations in Dordrecht. This new culture festival is open to everyone free of charge.
Culture on the Corner features a continuous program from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at various locations. A large stage at Scheffersplein will be the centerpiece of the festival. Admission to all activities is free.
