PAS Festival 2021

This is the seventh edition of the Pleasure, Art & Science Festival (PAS). This year we celebrate the 45th anniversary of Maastricht University with this festival. It is a tradition that the university opens its doors at the start of the academic year and treats everyone from the city and region to a programme full of interesting facts, beautiful music, theatre and more.

This year, the festival is moving to the Tapijn Barracks premises. Studium Generale looked for somewhere with plenty of space, due to the corona measures. Summer tunes, swinging music, circus and street theatre – you can enjoy the acts at various venues outdoors, at the appropriate distance from one another. The doors of the buildings will open for a variety of lectures and talk shows, and a cultural programme by the international student organisation Kaleido.

Won’t it be fantastic to meet up again, after a year in which so much has happened? Let’s make a great weekend of it together!

COVID-19 measures, ADMISSION AND RESERVATIONS

COVID-19 measures
We’ll be complying with the measures that are applicable at the time of the PAS Festival. In the run-up to the festival, these measures may change right up to the last minute. So it’s important to keep a sharp eye on the festival website. People who have made reservations will be informed of any changes by e-mail.
The grounds and the rooms will be set up in a way that allows people to keep a distance of 1.5 metres. Please note that as long as the distancing rules apply, they must also be complied within the rest of the park, outside the designated areas.

Admission and Reservations
There is free admission to the PAS Festival. Please keep in mind that most areas and rooms have a limited seating capacity that cannot be exceeded, so admission might be denied. For almost all the activities, it is necessary to make a reservation

PAS Festival & Alumni day UM

On Saturday 4 September, there’s a collective programme for all the UM alumni. It’s a great opportunity to visit the university and meet up with your fellow students again. And afterwards you can get swept up in the PAS Festival whirl together, which is taking place at the same premises.

Why PAS?

The university and the city
During the PAS festival, Maastricht University (UM) is throwing open the doors of several buildings in the Maastricht Quartier Latin, so that a wide public can explore some unique, sometimes unfamiliar places in person. They will be treated to a wide variety of short lectures, concerts, dance and theatre performances, demonstrations, art and guided tours. read more
