First day The four-day festival is more busy than ever

The first day of the Four Days Celebration was busier than ever. According to the organization, some 215,000 visitors came to the parties around the Four Day Marches of Nijmegen yesterday. Last year there were 10,000 fewer.

In other years, the party started during the evening. "Now you can walk on your heads in the afternoons," says Suzanne Kuijpers of the organization against Omroep Gelderland. Even in the evening, there were many people in Nijmegen

The festivities lasted until Friday evening, the last day of the Four Days of Nijmegen. "The weather forecast is good, so we could end up with a record number of visitors." Last year, more than 1.5 million visitors came in a week.

The organization of Four Days Celebrations receives daily figures on the number of visitors to the police. Police estimate the number of visitors based on camera images.
