Dordrecht Pakt Uit
Dordrecht entrepreneurs put out flowers
Under the motto "Dordrecht entrepreneurs put out the flowers," Saturday, April 19, will be a great day. This year the theme is Safari in the city center. With entertainment, music and lots of fun in and around the stores. Thanks to organizers Promotie Ondernemers Binnenstad Dordrecht (POBD), there is plenty to do and see in the city. Shopkeepers will make it a party for all customers and visitors. A day full of entertainment, music and fun in the stores!
On safari downtown
The entertainment concentrates between noon and 4 p.m. and is spread throughout the downtown area. Visitors will be surprised by four-meter-high giraffes around Statenplaats and Voorstraat midden, a mischievous hippo on Voorstraat west, happy zebras on Vriesestraat and colorful butterflies. Hilarious rangers take the public on safari in the historic downtown area. Children can get painted as their favorite animal or have a unique balloon safari friend made.
There are many great promotions at stores that day. You can find them further down on this page. Also the inner man is thought. On the Vriesestraat you can eat delicious African dishes at restaurant Klein Afrika. Be sure to try the delicious African sandwiches and Mandazi buns!
Fun scavenger hunt
On Vleeshouwersstraat, starting at 11 a.m., you can do a fun scavenger hunt and meet the Easter Bunny. Can you find all the wild animals in the stores and have a good idea to make the Vleeshouwersstraat even more fun? Then you have a chance to win a big chocolate Easter bunny from Olala Chocola!
