The Scrooge Festival is gradually taking on a national character and has become an integral part of the region.

In the small village of Arcen, a stone's throw from the border and located on the winding river Maas, you will meet during the Scrooge Festival about 400 people dressed in Dickens style.

As a chic dignitary with the necessary air, but also as a diligent worker, market people, laundress, barrel roller or shoe shiner.

Streets and squares are attractively decorated. One can't believe one's eyes and really imagine oneself in the London of yesteryear. If you follow the route you will meet all kinds of characters but also geese, pigs and chickens. On a corner in the alley, the ghost of the Grim Reaper spits and the gravedigger asks for respect for the dead he picks up from the street.
