Jeffrey loves a good party, Esmeralda is always after some special event, and Manon loves culture. Together they will provide you with two-weekly tips for a cool day or night out in Rotterdam.<\/p>\n

Manon\u2019s tip:<\/span>\u00a0Keilecaf\u00e9<\/strong><\/p>\n

It may not be a place you pass daily on your way to other places, but as far as I am concerned, Keilewerf in the Vierhaven neighbourhood will be the place to be in Rotterdam in the first two weeks of May. You see, Keilecaf\u00e9<\/a>, a festival<\/strong>\u00a0(entry free of charge)<\/strong> focusing on art, music and good food, will take place here, 3-14 May<\/strong>. Since there will be something on every day of the week (except Mondays and Tuesdays, when the festival area will be closed), I thought it might be a good idea to share my personal favourites with you! First of all, the vintage market on Sunday, 7 May. Lovers of vintage objects, vinyl, art and design (like myself!) will be able to go on a massive bargain hunt all day while several DJs will be playing good background music. I\u2019ve put Thursday, 11 May, in my diary, as well, because Roffa Mon Amour will put on a film, then, while Keilecaf\u00e9 will provide a matching meal. Last but not least, I will be dancing to dansvoer<\/em> music from 7pm on Saturday, 12 May. I\u2019ll put on my headphones and dance the night away! Will you join me? Please check out Facebook to see Keilecaf\u00e9\u2019s complete schedule.<\/p>\n\t

Jeffrey\u2019s tip:<\/span> Rotterdam Liberty Festival<\/strong><\/p>\n

On\u00a0Friday, 5 May <\/strong>(Liberation Day), you will be able to experience liberty at its very best at the\u00a0Rotterdam Liberty Festival<\/a> (Vrijheidsfestival) for \u20ac15<\/strong>. Laurentius Student Society, in association with Give Soul Event Organisers, will organise this musical trip of wild techno and\u00a0groovy\u00a0house music near\u00a0Woudestein Stadium<\/strong>.\u00a0The two different genres of music will not be mixed, since the festival will be divided into two separate areas. In this way, techno junkies and house butterflies will not have to mingle. On the techno site, Stranger,\u00a0Remco Beekwilder,\u00a0Emiel Zwart\u00a0and my personal favourite, ROD, will crank up the BPM. On the other side of the festival area, Chris Stussy\u00a0(among others) will operate the turntables, playing slightly less wild and slightly more cheerful music. So be sure to buy your ticket soon and prepare a nice and summery outfit. I\u2019ll make sure it will be sunny out there!<\/p>\n
