Limburg investigates whether the world's longest-running festival will become intangible heritage

A majority of the Limburg Provincial States approved a proposal to seek UNESCO status for the Pinkpop festival, which has been held since 1970. The VVD party emphasized the festival's role in connecting generations and boosting local entrepreneurship. They believe that UNESCO recognition could enhance Pinkpop's and Limburg's global reputation. The festival's management is reportedly very enthusiastic about this initiative.
