Stichting Parkfeest Oosterhout

What Stichting Parkfeest Oosterhout does

Stichting Parkfeest Oosterhout is a Dutch non-profit foundation (stichting), founded November 11, 1997, that organizes a single annual three-day festival in Slotpark, in the city center of Oosterhout, North Brabant. The event structure is fixed: Friday is a tribute-band night, Saturday features mainstream Dutch pop and rock headliners (2023 examples include Krezip, Rolf Sanchez, Emma Heesters, and Snelle), and Sunday is a free family day with children's activities. The festival is almost entirely volunteer-run, with only external security and audio/lighting professionals hired, and operates from a registered office at Bosstraat 21, 4901 ED Oosterhout alongside a volunteer information center at Kerkstraat 19.

The foundation has no proprietary technology stack. Its commercial surface is built on three vendor relationships: CM Ticketing (online ticket sales and the cashless on-site token system), Hosting2Go (website hosting), and Total Print (ticket printing). There is no mobile app, no public API, and no AI/ML components. The visitor-facing experience combines online ticket purchase (Passe-partout €52.50, early bird €45–€47.50, Saturday €42.50, Friday €19.50, Sunday free) with on-site consumption tokens (10 for €30) and a recurring 'Vriend van het Parkfeest' annual membership at €25.

The business model is a multi-stream community event revenue model: ticket sales, cashless token transactions on-site, recurring supporter memberships, and local/regional sponsorship. Revenue is not publicly disclosed. The foundation explicitly channels ticket proceeds to local good causes — over €600,000 across more than 25 years to Oosterhout charities including Stichting De Mienushal (founding beneficiary), Stichting Inloophuis Poppy's, and Stichting Voedseltuin Oosterhout. Customer segments are visitors (general public), volunteers (local residents age 15+), sponsors (regional businesses such as Rabobank and Bud), and good-cause recipients. Marketing is conducted organically through Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, a newsletter, and word-of-mouth.
