Oude Ambachten (Old Fashioned Folk/Craft Festival) Einighausen, NL

Op Zondag 5 Augustus 2012 vindt voor de 32e keer Oude Ambachten plaats te Einighausen. 
On Sunday, 5 August, 2012, is the 32nd annual Folk (or Crafts) Festival takes place in Einighausen.
Van 13.00 tot 18.00 uur kunt u een kijkje nemen in het boerenleven van 50 tot 100 jaar geleden. 
From 1300 to 1800 hours (1:00 to 6:00 o'clock)  can you see how farm life was 50 - 100 years ago.
Entree: € 5,00 (kinderen tot 12 jaar gratis)
Entrance: €5.00 (children up to 12 years old are free)
Parkeren is gratis op de aangegeven parkeerplaatsen.
Parking is free at the designated parking area.

 I went to this fest last year and spent about five hours there and had a good time. Last year it was hot and sunny. Click this LINK to see my posting from last year. Einighausen is near Sittard and is easy to get to from A2.

I plan on going this year again unless the weather is really bad. I suggest you take your own snacks and cold drinks. Food is available but the cost of drinks is ridiculous. I'm not all that fond of Dutch festival food, except for a piece of vlaai, so I'll take my own lunch.

So put it on your calendar and go to learn something about the Dutch Limburgs culture.
