Netherlands Bosch River Parade 



The Bosch Parade, a theatrical and musical art spectacle on the Netherlands’ Dommel River, kicks off on Thursday, June 20. For four days, spectators on the riverbanks can experience a procession of 19 floating, paddling, and swimming works of art in the middle of the historic center of ’s-Hertogenbosch, the birthplace and home of Hieronymous Bosch (1450–1516). The tenth edition of the parade is dedicated to our contemporary demons.



An impressive spectacle that amazes, touches, and connects viewers, Bosch Parade 2024 is the tenth edition of this floating art manifestation in the heart of ’s-Hertogenbosch. As in previous editions, visual artists, directors, and choreographers from the Netherlands and around the world will pay tribute to the timeless creativity and imagination of Bosch. In this all-new fascinating cruise of the ludicrous, nineteen quirky and colorful art objects full of fantasies and absurdities will be shown to thousands of spectators. 




During Bosch Parade 2024, artists and creators from far and wide will highlight these contemporary demons in a wondrous spectacle of unique sailing artworks, some of which feature theater, dance, and music. Read more, here. Video below.





I had a dentist appointment Wednesday morning. My dentist, a former student, has moved to a beautiful new office in Newport Beach. His office is all glass but mirrored from the outside. So I have a view out, but people outside can't see in. I kept noticing a weird looking contraption on top of a car in the parking lot. It looked like something out of Ghostbusters movie? But on top of car in a parking lot?


So when I went to my car, I got a closer look.






So now you know what I saw on an ordinary Wednesday morning.

Bentley, our 3 year old poodle just sat quietly on my lap last year, while we sat outside and watched the fireworks that were being set off in two or three locations. He never showed any fear at all the noise. Later Stan and I decided, that it is because the two of us set off fireworks with loud voices about every two weeks or so. LOL!
