This year, the tenth anniversary of the free PAS Festival coincides with the celebration of Maastricht University’s 50th anniversary. A double celebration, so we are going all out with, among other things, a special opening programme on Thursday and an expanded children’s programme on Saturday afternoon.

Maastricht University will once again open its doors to treat everyone from the city and the wider region to a programme full of fascinating insights, beautiful music, theatre and more. Plan your own route through the gardens, courtyards and halls of the university’s remarkable historic buildings in the city centre and choose from more than 60 programmes each evening. Enjoy world music, classical music, performances, dance and theatre, attend lectures on the latest research at our university, or be surprised by one of the many demonstrations.

Visit the website or follow PAS Festival on Instagram to keep up with programme updates. The programme booklet will be available from mid-August.
