"It's a very smooth and quiet edition", says Palmen. On Saturday, the most important day of the three-day festival, about fifty thousand people attended the event. As usual, private security officers searched the visitors upon arrival and checked their bags. "The only thing that is different is that the police do not supervise or this happens correctly." The municipality has taken over that role.
