After an evening packed with theatre, music, art, performance and unexpected encounters, the fun isn’t over yet. Once the DARK Halloween Festival Eindhoven has finished, you’re welcome to join us at CKE for the official after-party.
At the DARK Afterparty, visitors, participants, creators and volunteers come together to reflect on everything they’ve experienced during the festival. Don’t expect a run-of-the-mill party, but rather an atmospheric finale that fits the world of DARK.
With live music, unique performances and surprising contributions from Eindhoven’s cultural and nightlife scene, the line between the festival and reality will continue to blur for a little while longer. Discover new artists, meet other visitors or simply soak up the atmosphere as darkness slowly gives way to night.
Whether you’ve walked the entire route, taken part in the festival or simply fancy rounding off the evening in style: the DARK Afterparty is the place to step into the darkness together one last time.
In our programme there is always something to experience
