Procession
The Boxmeerse Vaart is a colourful (children's) procession that annually passes through the streets of Boxmeer. The saying goes: Pentecost early, Pentecost late: fourteen days later the Boxmeerse Vaart passes. The centrepiece of the Vaart is the large group around the relic of the Holy Blood. The Vaart originated around the year 1400.
