Are you at this family festival at the Kralingse Plas?
The third edition of the lively family festival Kidsstock will take place on June 16, after a successful launch in 2022. The festival will be held at the Kralingse Plas in Rotterdam and offers a day full of entertainment for all ages.
The programme, which is spread over several stages, offers plenty of entertainment for young and old, with music all around. Cool house songs are played by the Netherlands' best DJs, such as Roog and Michel de Hey and their kids. You can also rock and stage dive with the Beuzelband. The little ones sing along to children's songs by Dirk Scheele or dance with tribute band Smoorverliefd op Doe Maar.
This year you can also roll up your sleeves and participate in all kinds of fun activities. For example, Klieder and Klodder, the nicest teachers for craft activities, are present, and there is face paint and glitter tattoos available at the Knutselplein.
Festival goers can also enjoy delicious food from the various food trucks, such as poffertjes or pizzas. For parents there is a nice wine bar with a varied selection. Do not miss it!
The Dutch national team plays its first European Championship match during Kidsstock. Football fans can go to the Beach Arena area where the match is broadcast on a large screen. There are even sky boxes, great for an early Father's Day gift! Of course, a spectacle is thought of with every Dutch goal and there will be a spectacular halftime show provided by Feyenoord's own Kidsstock house band and resident DJ.
Kidsstock is the result of the collaboration between four fathers and their seven children. These fathers are no strangers to the festival world and have also organized Boothstock and devised and performed the Dance Parade in the past.
However, their children are the true source of inspiration for Kidsstock. They were so critical of everything their fathers did that the fathers decided it was time for the children to organize a festival of their own. This is how this youthful advisory board was created, which determined not only the name, but also the programming of the festival. “From start to finish, the children defined what this festival looks like.”
Visit Kidsstock on Sunday, June 16, 2024 from 1:00 PM to 8:00 PM in the Kralingse Bos at the Kralingse Plas in Rotterdam.
Tickets are available via the Kidsstock website. A ticket for children over 6 years old and adults costs €25 each, for children from 3 to 6 years old a ticket costs €12.50. Children under 3 years old can join for free with their parents.
