From 1:00 PM to 11:00 PM, all ages can enjoy live performances, Urban Sports, Graffiti, panel talks, and good food. This is a first for this location, a new milestone for the city.
Off The Tracks is a special showcase of Urban Sports and Street Culture on the Jaarbeursplein and Stadsplateau in Utrecht. The festival brings together the sickest talents from the city and beyond: from live HipHop acts and Street Dance Styles to Skateboarding, Inline Skating from Freestyle Football, Graffiti, BMX to Freerunning. The target? These art and sports forms shine on a stage that is accessible to everyone. The festival connects hardcore Street Culture fans with culture enthusiasts and promises to be a day where everyone, regardless of background, age, and interest, can discover and experience something new.
This free festival offers an impressive program, including (Olympic) athletes who show their skills and share knowledge. The Off The Tracks Mainstage is hosted by Utrecht HipHop crews, the city's HipHop parties all come with their own programming from artists from all over the country, from experimental live bands to raw rap. In addition to all demos, panel talks, live shows, and workshops, there is also a food offering and non-alcoholic drinks available.
Off The Tracks not only promises a day full of entertainment but also a new perspective on the Utrecht station area. By transforming Jaarbeursplein into a lively hub of creativity, the festival contributes to the positive vibe and promotion of this spot. Furthermore, the festival explores the future possibilities of the station area as a dynamic and cultural epicenter.
With the summer holidays and the Olympic Games approaching - where some Utrecht residents shine in their urban sports - this is the perfect time to celebrate the versatile talents of Urban Sports in Utrecht.
