Opening


The opening of the festival was a big succes. When the boogie woogies started, the clouds went away and a clear sky and sun appeared at the boulevard.

The guests and visitors of the festival could enjoy swinging piano boogie already during the afternoon. On 2 locations was live music by pianists Jeroen Sweers (and his Boogie Woogie Band) and Dirk Jan Vennik (with drummer Maarten Kruijswijk).
The concerts were completed with Boogie Woogie dancing by Swing Club Boogie World from Amsterdam, and with tapdancer Jelly from Paris, France. Below you will find an impression.



The Sponsor and Contributor Evening

The evening before the festival, every year there is the Sponsor and Contributor Evening. A private musical party. Also this year, the festival pianists showed a lot of swinging music. The evening took place in the beautiful Imperial Bar of the hotel.

Also the tapdancers Philou and Jelly gave a great show full of swing.

It was a succesful Sponsor and Contributor Evening. Below you will find a photo impression.

The Festival Evening




The afterparty

After the festival evening many visitors joined the afterparty in the Imperial Bar in the hotel.

Every festival pianist joined, and even some of the visitors showed that they could play some boogie woogie!


There was music, tapdancing, dancing, drinks and a lot of fun... Below you will find a photo impression of the afterparty, that didn't stop before 05:00 AM...

See you next year...!
