July program at Schouwburgplein Rotterdam

Performances, live music, yoga workshops and more...


The coming months you can celebrate the summer in the city of Rotterdam with a series of (free) festival events at the Schouwburgplein. Drift away with Italian tunes, dance to Mesopotamian rhythms and feel the heat of an Indian Summer.

On Sunday 11 July we kick off with the sounds of the Davina Marinozzi trio, poetry powered by Poetry Slam Rotterdam and relaxed tunes by DJ Soulbird. The Italian jazz trio Davina Marinozzi sets the tone with catchy and playful songs, combined with stylish jazz, swing and mambo! On Saturday 17 July you can participate in an old-fashioned Rotterdam bingo presented by actor, theater maker Art-Jan de Vries on the F&B Stadsterras on Schouwburgplein. On Sunday 18 July, bluesman Keith Dunn and the Rotterdam city center residents invite you to the annual Gumbo Session. During this open-air jam session you can play along and enjoy a swinging guest performance by jazz & blues singer Barbara St. James. Barbara St. James is known for her unique tribe, creativity and sense of swing, inspired by the big names of jazz, blues and soul.

For the yogis among us there is a relaxing and challenging yoga workshop every Sunday from 11:00-12:00. Note: there is limited space this year. Safe yourself a spot by registration, one day in advance via this site. Oh yes... Also nice this year: especially for the young energetic souls, there is a special yoga kids edition on Wednesday 28 July for children aged 6-12 years.
