Heerhugowaard is the second largest city in the region after Alkmaar. With a population of 56 thousand, it is a real commuter town, which is still growing. The Heerhugowaarders come from all over the world, but does the city also have a soul of its own?
We found that out with born and bred Heerhugowaard singer Joost de Vries. His music has been in the Dutch charts for more than 25 years. And he is the organizer of large free music events in his city, such as the Zomertoer in ‘t Kruis and Bevrijdingspop Dijk en Waard on the Raadhuisplein.
