Is the Laurenskerk controversy relevant to New Year's Eve?

The Laurenskerk's Halloween party on Saturday 31 October has drawn a petition by Protestants Nederland, reported at over 16,000 signatures on 12 October. The church foundation defends the events and says it does not intend to give in for now. The petition concerns Halloween. Aftersupper's list, checked on 22 October, still shows the New Year's Eve Masquerade Ball. Read the Halloween details in Rotterdam Halloween weekend 2026.

What other Rotterdam New Year's Eve listings did not verify?

A Resident Advisor page titled "TOFFLER NYE 2026" lists Wednesday 31 December 2025 in its date field and "Wed, 31 Dec 2026" in its description, so the year is unclear and it is left out. Maassilo's agenda listed no New Year's Eve event on 22 October. Check each venue's own calendar as 31 December approaches.
