Noorderzon 2023
Noorderzon takes place this year from 17 to 27 August. This year, we take you to overwhelming theatre, engage in conversation in the &Society programme, introduce you to new local talent, dance under the stars at the Apollo stage and toast together to what was and what is yet to come. And all together with you, the visitor. We look forward to seeing you again!
