Hello everybody,

unfortunatly we have to tell you that the KRAAK festival is not taking place this weekend.

A few days ago the mayor of Maastricht told us that we are not allowed to let the festival take place. This is because of the next (stupid) reasons:

*there will be several events in the city that weekend and they believe the city doesnt have enough policemen available in case there would be any emergencies\problems.
* the other reason why they wont have enough policemen available is because they are spending a lot time on the problems with the so called drugrunners, there is no budget available for our festival.
*the same weekend there will be a festival in Utrecht called the Days of Rage (about the G8 summit in japan), the city council is afraid that radical groups might travel down to maastricht to come to the festival and cause chaos.

The outside part of the festival was an issue for some weeks because of safety reasons. We gave them a lot of solutions (different other locations, fences, security people etc) to fix this but it wasn´t good enough for them. They gave us their decision very late..

We even tried to move the festival to other cities (around maastricht) but in this short time it was not possible for them.

Off course we are very very disapointed and angry about this decision. We have fight till the last moment (now) to make it happen. But now we have no options left.

There will come a festival like this again but then even better!! Also this year we will have muliple smaller events in the landbouwbelang
We want to thank you all for your support and hope that you will be willing to contribute next time!

If you have any questions or ideas please contact us.

greetings,

Kees and Jos
