Tilburg Funfair

This is the biggest funfair in all the country – and that makes Tilburg proud. In the Netherlands, funfairs have a tradition reaching way back in time – people will always go in search of diversion and entertainment. But modern life already offers so much in the way of stimuli that funfair operators need to come up with the ultimate thrill. Routinely they rise to the challenge. This year’s big wheel is even bigger than before. This Monday the funfair has turned pink, just as it has for the last twenty years on Funfair Monday. In line with the ‘gay for a day’ motto all the visitors have come dressed in pink to party together and so show support for gay liberation and integration. This pink spirit of fraternity imbues even the dull high–rise with a hint of colour.
