The general program is all the other things that can be experienced at Basil festival, which are not on the stage This year we will have a super nice sustainable pop-up market. Here you can find several stalls that contribute to a more sustainable life in their own way. Of course, there is also something for the little ones, so that everyone can have a good time. This is also the perfect opportunity for children to get acquainted with a festival and with sustainability!
Aside from our own merchandise stand, our stalls this year will be filled by a variety of sustainable companies and good causes, such as:
| Beehound will be selling a selection of their handmade crocheted items. |
| Pien will be selling an assortment of items such as hats, pillows, etc. All of them made of repurposed clothes and fabrics. |
