Blind Walls Film Fest is an internationally pioneering festival for enthusiasts and creators of graffiti, street art, and murals. Through an exciting and socially relevant programme featuring films, documentaries, Q&A sessions, masterclasses, and exhibitions, the stories behind these art forms are brought to light.

During this Kingsnight Special, Chris Stussy, Rossi, Luuk van Dijk, Locklead, Morgan, and many others will storm the old beet storage tank covered in graffiti on the former CSM site. A gigantic 360º main stage will rise, and a second stage for local talent will not be missing.

't Zoet. The old CSM site where two gigantic towers once stood and sugar was produced. Most people recognize it from the letters 'IK GA VIA BREDA'. This year during King's Day, the old sugar beet warehouse is the setting for Oranje Zoet - The Kingsday Rave.
