The Rotterdam Unlimited Summer Carnival will take place from 26 to 30 July.

It is one of Rotterdam's best-known, largest and most beloved festivals. The floats may be missing during the 35th edition of the Summer Carnival, but a few streets in Rotterdam will still be closed, which may have consequences for the accessibility of Erasmus MC, among others. Visitors and employees should take some extra travel time into account. For example, the Kruiskade will also be closed on Saturday 30 July between 13.00 and 20.00, making it no longer accessible. During the closures, no vehicles will be allowed on the route, with the exception of police, ambulances and fire brigade. 

Weena will be closed from the west at Kruisplein on Saturday 30 July from 13.00:20.00 pm to 13.30:16.30 pm and also closed from the west at Karel Doormanstraat. The Westblaak is also closed between 10.00 and 12.00, because then the Zomercarnaval Straatparade crosses the Rochussenstraat. The Witte de Withstraat will be closed to traffic around 1 a.m. The Hartmansstraat car park will remain accessible until 07.00:XNUMX. On Monday XNUMX August, after XNUMX a.m., the area will be free again for various road users.
