What is Noorderzon going to look like this year?

This year Noorderzon takes place in the Noorderplantsoen (the city park) and at various locations in Downtown Groningen: Forum Groningen, Grand Theatre, Het Houten Huis, Lutherse Kerk, Machinefabriek, Provinciehuis, VRIJDAG Theater and Usva.

In the northern part of the festival grounds you will find the mirror tent Pollux and a smaller tent Nova, open air music stage Apollo,  terraces Paradijsvogel and De Raaf. along the pond and a small stage for music: Podium De Raaf. In the southern part you will find an area especially for children: De Kleine Beer, music stage Callisto, a large tent for the circus performance TERCES Circus,  performance location Atlas  and several terraces. Spread over the park you will find a diverse range of food and drinks. Containers can also be found in three places: on the liliesingel at the height of the Sikkenspoortje, near the Paradijsvogel terrace by the pond, and towards the south at the intersection with the Maartje Bospad.

Yes! NoorderZondag is the place to get inspiration for the new cultural season. Cultural institutions have been presenting their offerings to the public from an information booth on the site for many years. This year we want to take a different tack and together with Forum, VRIJDAG, the Groninger Museum and SPOT Groningen we came up with a new concept: After Sun. After Sun gives you the opportunity to discover what there is to experience in Groningen after Noorderzon in terms of culture. On Sunday, August 27th, we organize three times After Sun Talk, a flashy talk show with some highlights of the upcoming cultural season. The information market is hereby discontinued. In addition to the talk shows, this year we are setting up a snack wall full of 'culture snacks' outside the Spiegeltent Pollux in collaboration with Marketing Groningen. Here you will find the best cultural tips in and around Groningen. Soon we will tell you more about it.

You will find our brand new Shop at the head of the pond in the Noorderplantsoen. Our well-informed ticket sellers are here for you with info & tickets. You will also find Noorderzon merchandise, Vera Artdivision, Bookstore Riemer, NAIS products and Jeanet Metselaar designs.
