Sep 2017 | Breda | Hartje Ginneken
Hartje Ginneken 2017 is a small festival in Breda, located in the south of the Netherlands. It started as an idea between two friends in the middle of their village – Ginneken. Their target market is their friends, neighbors, and people living directly in the village, making 95% of their visitors local.
Backbone is the partner for all operational and productional matters. From technical production to crew catering, from festival drawings to overlay management, Backbone was responsible for the overall production management of this festival.
The load-in of the entire event takes three days, and the load-out takes one and a half days. During the load-in, normal livelihood in the neighborhood continues as usual. While operating the load-in and load-out as well as the event itself, we have to take into account safety as a huge element during the entire period because there is a high school on location.
During the 2017 edition, heavy rainfall tried to ruin the atmosphere during the evening, but the enthusiastic crowd did not despair, and the atmosphere was amazing. Even top national bands played the most recent edition. We hope to be involved again in the 2018 edition of this small but special event.
