Historical boats in the Vlaardingen Harbour

This is a new event near the harbour of Vlaardingen, it was supposed to be the follow up to the "Herring & Beerfest" (Haring en Bierfeest).

The Herring & Beerfest was a yearly event which has been here since i can remember. It actually started in 1973 when Vlaardingen celebrated it 700 year anniversary.

But this year it was replaced and combined with the provincial waterdays.. But for me and the people i have spoken too it was a real disappointment. The events that where organised where ok but it was much smaller as the Herring & Bierfest was. The only place you noticed the event was on one bank of the Harbour, you could walk in the city center and never know there was something special going on...

Sorry i want the Herring & Bierfest back....
