Organizer Jory Bosch explains what those agreements are: “For example, we are moving the site a little more to the back. In the coming years we will be looking for other locations, just outside Dalen. Until 2026, we can at least work at this location. organizing our festival.” Also, no more than 5,000 visitors per day are allowed. In this edition, the event is aiming for four thousand visitors per day. “Sunday is free, so we don’t know how many people we can receive for that day,” says Bosch.
Two objectors were not at home when RTV Drenthe arrived. Another objector declined to comment.
Roelof Boer and Alwin Eijsink are also close neighbors of the festival. “So much is already disappearing from the village,” says Eijsink. “You should be a little proud of this. It’s only one weekend a year.” His neighbor then adds: “The organization also keeps us very well informed.”
So we can look forward again: “The construction is going very well”, says Bosch proudly. “We have four stages this year, with something for everyone. Many bands play here on the right, behind them between the containers there is hardstyle stomping,” he sums up. “A lot is about to happen.”
“Actually, you spend the whole year organizing this and in these last weeks we are building things up with 225 volunteers. That gives a kick,” he beams. “It really is a festival for everyone: young and old and not just for Dalen, but for the entire region. Many people from Coevorden, Emmen and Hardenberg also walk here.”
Pearl Village Festival and Weijdepop on the Reindersdijk in Dalen kicks off tomorrow and lasts until Sunday.
