The story

Theaterfestival Boulevard in Den Bosch

Theaterfestival Boulevard is an annual summer theatre festival in 's-Hertogenbosch, presenting Dutch and international theatre, dance, and street performance across indoor venues and outdoor spaces in the city center. Held over roughly ten days each August, it is one of the larger theatre festivals in the Netherlands, mixing ticketed indoor productions with free outdoor performances.

's-Hertogenbosch, commonly known as Den Bosch, is a historic city in the Dutch province of North Brabant, built around the towering Gothic cathedral of Sint-Jan and a network of canals including the Binnendieze, which runs partly underground beneath the old city.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Boulevard distinguishes itself by combining two very different festival experiences within a single event: curated, ticketed theatre and dance productions staged indoors, often featuring international companies alongside leading Dutch ensembles, and free outdoor street theatre and performance staged in the city's squares and public spaces, giving both dedicated theatre audiences and casual passersby a way into the festival

02

The mystery stays covered

Its setting in 's-Hertogenbosch, a historic city built around a Gothic cathedral and a network of canals, gives the outdoor performance program a distinctive backdrop compared to festivals staged in purpose-built festival grounds
