About PAS This the ninth edition of the Pleasure, Art & Science Festival (PAS). Since 2014, Maastricht University has been opening its doors at the start of the academic year to treat everyone from the city and the region to a programme filled with interesting information, great music and theatre, and much more. We’ve had to wait a while, because in 2022 PAS became a biennial festival, but our patience has been rewarded with the expansion of the programme to include two extra locations and a special children’s programme on Saturday afternoon, which has been compiled with great enthusiasm by the Studium Generale team.
You can just wander around and let things take you by surprise, or you can plan your programme in advance through the programme schedule.
Children’s programme The evening programme of the PAS Festival always has something interesting and fun for children, too. This year, however, there’s also a special children’s programme on Saturday afternoon, starting at 16:00. Most things are presented in Dutch, but at the end of the afternoon, there’s also street theatre for children who speak other languages.
Admission There is free admission to the PAS Festival. As most spaces have limited capacity, and we can only admit the number of people for whom seats are available, entry may be refused.
The sun Unfortunately, we can’t influence the weather, but even if it pours with rain, everything will go ahead anyway. So once again, the message for this edition is: let the sun shine in your heart and enjoy PAS!
