The Saturday before Pentecost has been the scene of this celebration for centuries, during which early morning noise is made and special delicacies are prepared and eaten. Especially in the Zaanse mill culture, Luilak holds a special place: the mill people had their traditions, and especially the sawmills were put into a special \u2018Luilak mode\u2019. Nowadays, Luilak seems to be on the wane. This old-fashioned festival is now rarely celebrated and is in danger of falling further and further into oblivion. What exactly is the origin of this illustrious folk festival? What role did the Zaanse windmills play in it, and is there still a future for Luilak?<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-8\"><strong>Speakers Friday 6 June<\/strong><br \/>\nThe first speaker will talk about the origins of Luilak.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-9\">The second speaker will discuss the Luilak tradition within life around the Zaanse mills.
