Saturday September 3rd will be Workshop Saturday, where samba players can take workshops from great teachers from all over Europe. There will also be an evening show with live music and an opportunity to dance and party. As we organise Workshop Saturday for the 9th time now, we know that this isn't only a day of learning, playing and listening music but also a day of meeting old friends and making new ones. Imagine, being in a building full of samba enthousiasts!

Of course we stick to the local Covid measures. We now have experience in organizing pandemic editions of Workshop Saturday in 2020 and 2021. Our Covid measures will be published on the Covid page of this website.

All details about the program are to find at the Workshop Saturday page. And when you have made your choice out of the 16 (!) workshops: go to the ticket shop immediately and safe yourself a spot!

Sunday September 4th will be Play Out Loud Sunday, where percussion groups show their music to each other and the audience. Groups play at four beautiful locations in the city of Nijmegen, all near the festival venue.

Play Out Loud Sunday has been cancelled for two years now due to Covid regulations. We keep trying, but we can only do this when regulations allow us to do so, enough groups can come to Nijmegen and we get a permit of the city board. Our Covid measures will be published on the Covid page of this website.

You can find all information at the Play Out Loud Sunday page.
