Carnival 2022 can be celebrated in halls and cafes anyway, the Security Council announced yesterday. Outdoor locations are also very likely to be exempt from the 1G test. As a result, outdoor events are freely accessible.
Carnival associations are curious about what exactly will be possible. Such as the Stichting Carnaval Roosendaal, which will consult with the municipality and security region about Carnival 2022 tomorrow. “We are always optimistic, but it depends on the details,” says Joep van Rijswijk. This also applies to the Optoch Kommitee Zitterd Foundation, in Sittard. Secretary Guus Queisen fears that it will not be carnival as usual anyway. “We have had our carnival cars ready in a shed for two years,” he says on the phone.
“It will not be a full-fledged carnival”, Rob van de Laar of the Brabant Carnival Federation also thinks. “Without parades and other events, it will mainly be a pub party. In itself also a nice idea because after two years people are ready for a kind of outlet”, it is said. he quoted by Omroep Brabant.
The municipalities of Tilburg and Breda are also waiting to see exactly what the cabinet is planning. It is clear to Breda that carnival tourism is strongly discouraged there in the coming edition. “We want to keep it as small-scale and local as possible,” said a spokesperson.
