Hinzen Family Fairground Organ Festival
By Lee Lanier

Does anyone know if the Hinzen Family Organ Open House in Swalmen,
Netherlands, will be held this year?  It was last held in 2015 and
I believe they were planning to have one every other year.  In the
past it was held in March.

This is a great gathering of fairground organs that rivals the
Waldkirch festival, which be held this year at the end of June.
I've been twice to Swalmen and enjoyed it very much, especially
because the instruments are in two adjacent warehouses out of the
weather.  The organs are from the Hinzen collection but also from
other collectors, such as Willem Kelders, who bring their own
very fine instruments.
