Liberation Haarlem Tour: 7 May 2017

[Hanno Spoelstra]

On Sunday May 7th, the Liberation Haarlem tour will drive from the fortress at Aalsmeerderbrug to Fort Veldhuis near Heemskerk. The tour will pass through Aalsmeer, Halfweg, Haarlem, Bloemendaal, following (as much as possible) the original liberation route as taken by the Canadians on 8 May 1945.

At Haarlem and Bloemendaal there will be two static shows of two and one hour respectively. The tour will end at a militaria fair at Heemskerk.

Looking forward to driving this historic route, as Haarlem has not allowed this type of event since 1995. Great to see public and governmental attitude changing to make this possible.
