This year it will be a smaller, more compact and clearer event that the visitors offers a broad cultural experience. The festival consists of two parts, the during the week programming ‘MAAS!-voyage’ and ‘Festival MAAS!’ at the weekend.

During ‘MAAS!-voyage’, from 6 to 8 September, various cultural institutions in the city open their doors to show their best side. Think of theater performances at Het Magisch Theatertje and Theaterschool de Zuiderlingen, children’s activities at the Natural History Museum and trial lessons at KuMa Music School Center Ceramics. Various performances are given at Banka Studios and also the Theater aan het Vrijthof opens its doors in the run-up to MAAS!

In the evening of September 8, the coast of MAAS! reaches. At the ‘Costa Kesselskade’ music and dance will fill the weekend and on Saturday 9 and Sunday 10 September transform even more locations in MAAS!tricht into cultural holiday destinations. This is how the creative village ‘Vrijthof Village’ is created on the most beautiful square in Maastricht Bonnefanten pop-up museum, a maker’s market and a music stage where various local artists will perform. Kunstbende presents young talent there on Sunday.

A musical and theatrical sea breeze blows on ‘Bassin Beach’, with artists such as Janine Kitzen, Dominique Paats and Paulus Schäfer, Diederick Ensink and dancers from Sally Dance Company and the Dutch Dance Days. The Jazz Orchestra comes all the way from Amsterdam concert hall with ‘JOC goes strange’ in which they do musical multi-genre crossovers with five Limburg artists.
