The Luttenbergse Top 700 is a unique event that is organized in Luttenberg. The idea for the Top 700 originated in 2018, in honor of the 700th anniversary of the village. Since then it has grown into a five-day musical festival.
During the Luttenberg Top 700, residents and people who have a connection with Luttenberg can vote for their favorite songs. The 700 most popular songs are then broadcast during the event, which takes place in the Elckerlyc Community Center. The broadcasts can be followed live via a stream and Vechtdal FM, so that everyone can enjoy the music.
In addition to playing the songs, there are many other activities that make the Top 700 extra special. For example, quizzes are organized, there are live performances and visitors can enjoy music-related artwork made by local artists. This year, in 2024, a new component will even be added where local people are invited to make and exhibit music-related art.
Another highlight of the Top 700 is the opportunity for people to share their personal stories behind the chosen songs. This provides an extra dimension and makes the event even more personal and meaningful. There are also special sections such as ‘Groeten Uit’, where a live connection is made with Luttenbergers who are on holiday and are following the Top 700.
The organization of the Top 700 is in the hands of Team Top 700, a group of enthusiastic volunteers who do everything they can to make the event a success. Thanks to their efforts and the support of the community, the Luttenbergse Top 700 is an event that everyone looks forward to.
