Festival Magia

There are loads of reasons to spend time in Rotterdam. Festival Magia is definitely one – a block party in the heart of the city central district, followed by club hopping through the official Festival Magia After-Parties.

Expect everything from the exotic electronic dance music of Bruxas to Los Angeles-based label Awesome Tapes from Africa to bust out their best beats for your delight. Yes it sounds way too good to be true but it is what it is – free party for your pure enjoyment.
