Big parade in ut Kielegat (Breda)

Residents of Breda, also known as 'Kielegat', let their creativity run wild with themes that often humorously play on current events. The parade is a highlight of the carnival season and attracts thousands of visitors from Breda and far beyond. The festive atmosphere, combined with the unique Breda carnival culture, makes it an unforgettable experience for everyone celebrating.

Departure
The parade starts at 12.11 pm at the Haven. The Prince's float leads the way and 'parks' at the Grote Markt. All participants in the parade pass by the prince and his entourage to showcase their act, float, or costume. As the finale, the prince's float then joins to the final destination. 

Afterparty
The afterparty of the parade starts at 3.33 pm in the Chassé Theatre. Here, around 6.50 pm, all prize winners will be announced. 

Everyone is welcome at the Grand Parade. The Kielegat foundation pays attention to people who need additional provisions to be able to attend the parade. This makes carnival accessible for everyone.
