On 20 September there will be an act commemoration in the presence of the veterans and the Bridge to Liberation event, and on 24 September during the commemoration of the evacuation we will all remember the sacrifices made in Arnhem for freedom in the Netherlands and Europe. We will be commemorating the battle that totally destroyed the city, the victims who fell including both soldiers and residents, and the large-scale evacuation.
The Airborne Region is an initiative of the four Airborne municipalities of Arnhem, Renkum, Ede and Overbetuwe. We are commemorating, realising and experiencing together and jointly telling the story of the Battle of Arnhem. It is about the events of September 1944, but also about the impact it still has today. In addition to commemorations, the region has a wide program with many varied activities. Do you want to know what there is to do in each municipality? The full program of the Airborne Region can also be viewed online via the website www.airborne-region.nl.

Normally at the John Frost Bridge – the former Rhine Bridge, which in the end turned out to be a bridge too far – Bridge to Liberation is a spectacular experience with dance, music and fireworks on 20 September in which personal stories about the impact of war and the value of freedom form the central theme.
2020 is the year in which the Netherlands, as part of the world, will be governed by the consequences of the Coronavirus outbreak, but will continue to commemorate, honor and celebrate. That is why we are working on a special edition of Bridge to Liberation with all the familiar elements, adapted
to the world we live in today. The only difference; on Friday 18 September 2020 at 8.30 pm, the audience will experience Bridge to Liberation “on screen”. innovative and for everyone!
For the seventh edition of Bridge to Liberation, various artists will convey the story to the audience through their own emotions. The artists will be announced in the end of August.

Inwoners uit de regio Arnhem staan in de herdenkingsweek uitgebreid stil bij de inspanningen van geallieerde strijdkrachten om snel een einde aan de Tweede Wereldoorlog te maken. Het is een eerbetoon aan de moed en het doorzettingsvermogen van de soldaten tijdens de Slag om Arnhem. Tijdens deze herdenkingen wordt op respectvolle wijze aandacht geschonken aan de veteranen, de gesneuvelde soldaten en hun familie.
Het is dit jaar 75 jaar geleden dat de Slag om Arnhem, als onderdeel van Operatie Market Graden, plaatsvond. We noemen dat een kroonjaar. Tijdens een kroonjaar zijn de activiteiten en evenementen groter en uitgebreider.
