 About Noorderzon

Noorderzon Festival of Performing Arts & Society is the somewhat curious combination of an international cutting-edge arts festival with exciting contemporary performing arts from around the world... and a grand summer party in the Noorderplantsoen in Groningen. The 34th edition of the festival takes place from August 22 to September 1. The Noorderplantsoen and various locations in the city center of Groningen will serve as the backdrop for an eleven-day festival featuring a challenging international, national, and local program. Noorderzon presents theater, dance, circus, lectures, discussions, music, and a children's program. Ticket sales start on Saturday, June 22 at 12:00 via noorderzon.nl.

See you there!
