The annual festival celebrating the defeat of the Spanish rule in 1572!
The
streets of the tiny town of Brielle are one big fair - handicrafts, re-enactments,
music, eats and drinks, and a carnival. Here a lady shows off her lace
bonnets, demonstrates the art of making mustard, and sells jars of the
freshly-made brew. The city of Doesburg is also famous for the old mustard
factory which is now a mustard museum. A Spanish infantry man leers at
a pretty local girl - it's all in good fun and many people dress up in
costumes of the time. Nuns and priests, beggars and peddlers, noblemen
and ladies, freedom fighters and Spanish. Kids have miniature "garage sales"
and sell old toys and books.
