Delft
Easter Jubilee Delft held since 1988. The idea for the event came in 1987, when a member of the Delft Christian Reformed Church an Easter Jubilee in Lisse attended, and so was excited to also agree to organize something similar in Delft. With the help of the brass band of the Salvation Army and the musical contacts with the local evangelicalMorgenstond Municipality that first Easter Jubilee was set up. Over the years worked several parishes in Delft participated in the event. The Easter Jubilee takes place annually on the Market between the Town Halland the New Church . The Jubilee has over the years gained quite some notoriety in the city and beyond, thus come at the beginning of the 21st century, every year approximately 1,000 people at the event.
