Distribution of Fodder Beets at the Vismarkt for St. Martinus

Saturday, November 2, 12:00-15:00: Fodder beet distribution at Vismarkt (OZ), Groningen

This year, on Saturday, November 2, a farmer's cart full of fodder beets will enter the city center of Groningen. Organ grinder Joris ten Have will accompany his Pronkjewail while playing music up to the head of the Vismarkt. Volksvermaken will distribute free fodder beets on the east side of the Vismarkt. There will be examples on-site showing how to make a St. Martinus lantern from a fodder beet. The distribution of the free fodder beets is in close cooperation with the Stichting Marktactiviteiten Groningen. In the week leading up to November 11, the beets will also be delivered to various primary schools and after-school care centers.

This year, Volksvermaken is distributing free fodder beets to the youth of Groningen on Saturday afternoon, November 2, from which they can create their own lanterns for St. Martinus.
