Ketelhuisplein

Food & Drinks

You will not only find special projects on and around the square. There is also The Bar, plus a food area with various food trucks. The Bar is open all day, and starting from 17.00hrs  there are drinks and DJs to finish the day on a high note.

Interactive

The Ketelhuisplein is attractive and dynamic and is based on 'do touch'. Most projects have an interactive character. Touching, interacting and experiencing are central here.

Ketelhuisplein is freely accessible without a DDW ticket.
