In 2010, Hoogstraten celebrates its 800th anniversary. Hundreds of re-enactors bring the history of Hoogstraten to life. The center of Hoogstraten is occupied by hunter-gatherers from the Stone Age, Vikings, a real medieval market, Napoleonic soldiers, German and English troops, and so on. They create a huge open-air spectacle throughout Hoogstraten.
Family friendliness: The portrayed periods are accompanied by the necessary explanations. Children learn to bake cookies as in the Stone Age, see an 18th-century blacksmith in action, etc. A corresponding brochure with educational content for children is available.
