Schaijk held its first Elfth of the Elfth celebration on 11 November, marking the start of the new carnival season. About 700 carnival-goers gathered in a red-and-blue tent on the village square, organized by the De Mouslander Carnival Foundation. Chairman Jeroen van Zuilen said the organizers wanted to keep young people and other residents together in Schaijk, as many young people usually travel to Oeteldonk in Den Bosch for the celebration. Visitors said Schaijk was less crowded, more convenient and more convivial, although the organizers acknowledged that not all young people had stayed in the village.
