Carnival in Oeteldonk is slightly different than in most other places in Brabant. The Burgundian version of the festival is celebrated in the provincial capital. It doesn’t matter for the pictures, because Oeteldonk shone on Sunday during the arrival of HRH Prince Amadeiro XXVI and the unveiling of Boer Knillis. And because it is a leap year, housekeeper Hendrien was also present at the Market. Tens of thousands of people came to Oeteldonk and we have selected the eleven most beautiful pictures for you.
