5 Years of Forum Groningen Celebration

5 YEARS OF FORUM

 

I still remember that many people from Groningen didn't like it at first, thinking it was a megalomaniacal project. But after 5 years, everyone can see that Forum Groningen has been a fullblown success! It has truly become the living room of Groningen, and that calls for a big party at the Forum. Below is an impression of what you can expect that day, and this celebration will continue until midnight, so feel free to get your feet off the ground in the evening! Just make sure to reserve your free ticket for the evening program. More information can be found in our news post below.

 

5 YEARS OF FORUM Party

On Saturday, November 30, Forum Groningen celebrates its 5th anniversary as the living room of the city! To mark this occasion, they are throwing a fantastic home party! This celebration is for every Forum Pass holder and loyal Forum visitor. Below is an overview of the activities planned, suitable for everyone! During the day, from 09:00 to 18:00, there will be activities for all ages. There will be music on the public tribune, films in the cinemas, puzzle competitions, games, and much more. The party continues in the evening! From 20:00 onwards, you can enjoy live music, showcase your singing talent at karaoke, or dance at the silent disco. In short, an evening not to be missed! Anyone under 18 is welcome when accompanied by an adult.
