A festive welcome
Friday is the day of the grand arrival on the Via Gladiola. Cheered on by around a hundred thousand spectators, the final kilometers to the finish line become a thrilling and musical celebration. Whether marching, dancing, or limping, every participant of the 4Days Marches is moved by the incredible enthusiasm along the route. The procession along the spectator-packed Via Gladiola is the highlight for both the walkers and the public.
Grandstands
You can be there. From the grandstands on Keizer Karelplein, Oranjesingel, and Prins Bernhardstraat, watch the colorful parade of walkers pass by. Cheer them on and applaud them—because the final stretch is always the toughest. Together, we’ll make it a grand finale!
The prices for a grandstand seat range from €16.00 to €19.00. Children up to 12 years old accompanied by an adult receive a 50% discount. If you want to be guaranteed a spot among the celebrating crowd at the end of the route, tickets will be available for purchase on this page starting June 16 at 10:00 hrs CET.
After purchasing your tickets, you can download them directly from your Dashboard. Log in using the email address you used when placing the order. Only these tickets (printed or digital) will be accepted as valid admission to the grandstands. Grandstands that are no longer shown are not available.
If you use a wheelchair, a limited number of spaces are available on a special grandstand. To reserve one of these spots, please contact the Service Desk. Don’t wait too long, these places usually sell out early.
Some grandstands can only be reached via the footbridge over the Oranjesingel. For safety and smooth crowd flow, this bridge operates as a one-way route. In case of large crowds, the bridge may even be temporarily closed. Make sure to be seated on the grandstand well before 1:00 PM, as access may no longer be possible after that time.
Also, keep in mind the possibility of varying weather conditions: the grandstands are not covered.
Meet & Greet
After the final kilometers along the Via Gladiola, the finish is at the Wedren. On Friday, this area is only accessible to our walkers. Otherwise, it would get too crowded and we could no longer guarantee your safety. For family and friends, we’ve set up a special Meet & Greet area next to the Wedren. You are more than welcome at this meeting point on Van Schevichavenstraat! Make sure to arrange to meet each other there.
Accessibility
Spectators are advised to use public transport or come by bike. You can park your bicycle at the designated areas around the Wedren. Please note that using the bike parking is at your own risk. If you wish to come by car, please use the P&R facilities on the outskirts of the city.
Please note: On Friday, starting from 8:00 AM, the start/finish area will be closed off and will only be accessible to walkers, authorized 4Days Marches staff, and a few local residents.
