On Monday, 9 June, the Zaanse Schans will be the setting for the event: PinksterZaan. Pinksterzaan is a lively event commemorating the 451st Liberation Day of the Zaan region. Exactly 451 years ago, during Pentecost 1574, the Watergeuzen liberated the region from Spanish rule. This event has been celebrated for many years in the Zaan region at the Zaanse Schans, the place where the character of the Zaan is tangible.<\/p>\n

PinksterZaan offers an interesting programme that features music, stories, and crafts. Choirs, ensembles and soloists pay tribute to freedom with performances at various locations in the heritage village. Visitors are invited to wander around, listen, discover, and reflect on what freedom means nowadays.<\/p>\n

Documentary at Zaans Museum
\nThe mini-documentary Op zoek naar de Zaanse Schans (In search of the Zaanse Schans) will be shown on 8, 9 and 10 June.<\/p>\n

The documentary follows a search for traces of this historic struggle at the Zaanse Schans itself and takes us to the North Holland Archives, Museum Kaap Skil and a \u2018Schans\u2019 on Texel. The mini-documentary will be shown every hour at the museum’s entrance area, is subtitled in English and is free of charge for all visitors to the Schans during the Whitsun holidays.<\/p>\n
