The largest carnival parade from above the rivers will be held again this afternoon in Zwaag. NH News will be there live to follow the festivities from 13:30 to 15:00.
With 50 floats and walking groups, it is a big carnival party. Thousands of visitors from all over the region come to Zwaag.
Carnival inflation
In Brabant they have this year fewer participants to the carnival parades than before. There is less enthusiasm, and the increased costs are also to blame. But despite the fact that building a float costs 7,000 euros, there is no carnival inflation in Zwaag.
“This year we are back at the pre-corona level. There are also many companies that help the groups with building materials,” Eric Bot of carnival association Het Mask said earlier.
The parade can be seen live at NH Nieuws (Ziggo 30/KPN 509) and WEEFF (Ziggo 45/KPN 1359), the websites/apps of NH Nieuws and WEEFF and on youtube.
