NYE parties in Groningen

Nov 21, 2023 • 7 minutes reading time

Prepare yourself in advance because the big New Year's Eve party is coming soon. And then of course you must have tickets for the best parties in Groningen.

The dark months have already begun. The R is back in the month and so there are more Dutch sayings!
Need light and freedom in this dark period? Then go to one of the flashy parties when you put on your dancing shoes.
Would you rather take it a bit easier? Then you can also start the festive countdown on the Grote Markt near the Christmas tree.

By the way, from December 6 the city will become a bit brighter because the municipality and entrepreneurs will put their shop windows in the Christmas spirit! It will remain pleasant in the city of Groningen until January 7.

Real fireworks
There are many rules when it comes to the end of the year party and fireworks. The fireworks-free areas are marked with red/black on this map of the municipality of Groningen:

Okay, here we go. We just count to 10!

Read the list carefully and order your tickets on time or combine parties! Because some parties just don't start until New Year! Or.... choose a free event and just decide to go to the Grote Markt spontaneously! We made a list of 10 parties for you!

Roodkopje NYE

The Palace
- PALACE is the club in the city center of Groningen! A place where the best crowd comes to socialize, dance and flirt to their favorite music of all time. The club consists of several floors that together form one space. This creates a unique arena effect where the dance floor is the focal point. An atmosphere and experience that you will not encounter anywhere else.
  What to do during New Year's Eve is still a mystery, but keep an eye on their agenda!
