Kindercarnaval
Ahead of Summer Carnival, we celebrate Kindercarnaval with workshops and activities.
All children aged 6 to 14 are welcome to join the Children’s Parade: a cheerful parade that starts at Deliplein and ends at Plein.
Celebrate Summer Carnival at Plein
Kindercarnaval is back and transforms Rotterdam on Sunday 19 July into one big colourful playground full of creativity, culture and fun. From music and dance to visual arts and stories: Kindercarnaval shows how cultural heritage is alive and vibrant in the eyes and hands of young Rotterdammers.
Join the Children’s Parade
Summer Carnival belongs to Rotterdam. It brings music, dance, costumes and stories from different communities together in the city. The day begins with making and preparing festive accessories. Afterwards, the Children’s Parade moves through Katendrecht to Plein. There, the programme continues with music, dance, food, encounters and activities for the whole family.

Rotterdam Unlimited Zomercarnaval is an ode to the cultural richness of the city. A festival that transforms the streetscape with colour, sound and movement, right in the heart of Rotterdam.
