Veen is a village in the Dutch province of North Brabant.

It is infamous for its New Year's Eve tradition during which scrap cars are burnt,[3] and in 2020 even firemen were attacked with fireworks.

It was first mentioned between 1108 and 1121 as de Ueno and means raised bog.

[4] Veen is a river bank settlement along the Afgedamde Maas which developed in the Middle Ages.

In 1987, it was restored and elevated, because it was hit by trucks several times due to its proximity to the road.
