DJs, a relaxed atmosphere in the park, sunset over the Castle, friends around you. Who wouldn't want that? At the T-huis in Park Valkenberg, you will find that all weekend long.

De Haven
Friday, Saturday and Sunday
The entrepreneurs of the Haven make La Vuelta one big party. They do this, together with the visitors, during the first edition of the Havenfeesten.

Sunday

Chasséveld
Sunday
On Sunday 21 August, you can follow the match on large LED screens and enjoy a nice cold beer with a selection of artists. Music from the 70s and 80s combined with the biggest Dutch hits will turn this square into a true party palace. Around the end of the afternoon, La Vuelta finishes right in front of you at the Claudius Prinsenlaan. At this plaza you have a good view of the prize-giving ceremony of the Tour of Spain.
After the prize-giving ceremony, the party goes on until around 20.00 hrs. Afterwards, you are of course welcome to enjoy a drink at one of the plazas in the city centre, Valkenberg or Ginneken.
Mucha Mierda
Sunday
At this plaza, you have the cyclists in your sights at least twice! At the end of the afternoon, La Vuelta finishes right in front of you at the Claudius Prinsenlaan. And on the gigantic screen, you will not miss a second of the race.
Mucha Mierda is the green oasis during La Vuelta in Breda. Come and enjoy the phenomenal Ghent band Congazz and the nostalgic DJs from Bakkenliedjes. Good coffee, good food and delicious special beers. Settle down in the grass or take a seat at the picnic tables and play a game of KUB or Jeu de Boules in the meantime. Plaza Mucha Mierda can be found in the park near the Polish Maria Chapel on Claudius Prinsenlaan. The festivities start at 12:00 and continue after the finish of the Vuelta until around 20:00.
