It promises to be a musical spectacle on Saturday, June 21, 2025 during the impressive tattoo organized by Jachthoorn- en Trompetterkorps Edelweiss in Heerlen. Several renowned marching bands from the Dutch top of the marching and show world will bring a dazzling show full of rhythm, color, choreography and visual effects. They will do so on the Corneliusplein in the Heerlerheide district on the occasion of Edelweiss' 65th anniversary. For example, some WMC champions will make their appearance in Heerlen.

Street parade as festive warm-up

Prior to the tattoo, a festive street parade passes through the neighborhood. The participating corps already give the public a taste of their musicality and discipline. A unique opportunity to experience the joyful sounds of wind and percussion music up close. In addition to the corps that will present their show on the tattoo square in the evening, various corps from the region will also show their musical abilities during this parade.

Collaboration with the Mining Museum

For the Year of Cultural Heritage, volunteers from the Dutch Mining Museum will add an extra dimension to the event. Visitors can learn more about the region's rich mining history and its influence on local culture. Volunteers from the museum will be happy to tell visitors more about the former Eastern Mining Region. Heerlerheide was also home to a coal mine. The tattoo square will be decorated in the atmosphere of the town's mining past. Together with the municipality of Heerlen, Province of Limburg, Frisse Wind, Cultural Heritage Heerlen and various sponsors and patrons, the event has been made possible. They carry Edelweiss with a warm heart.

Catering and tattoo plaza

After the parade, visitors can already enjoy music on the square. You can already enjoy drinks and snacks there until the tattoo begins. The tattoo square will be furnished with stands with seating. Of course, we also reserve seats for the disabled. The Cornelius Church and the glass cooling tower of the Cornelius House next to the square will give it all extra cachet.
