Llovers of culinary snacks, regional products and delicious drinks will get their money's worth on Sunday 2 and Monday 3 February 2020 at the first edition of the Gastronomie Festival in MartiniPlaza Groningen.
A festival for everyone
A new culinary festival with the charm of yesteryear and the appearance of today, that is what the organizers Bidfood, Horecagroningen and Martiniplaza have in mind. At the two-day event, both private and business visitors can enjoy everything that the catering industry, chef and local entrepreneur has to offer in the field of gastronomy. Think of everything around: local cheeses, wines, beers, fish & meats and vegetables. In addition, various food workshops and tastings take place. Children have also been thought of, they can enjoy themselves in a festive kids area full of activities.
Relive old times
The initiators drew inspiration for the new Gastronomy Festival from the culinary event 'Proeven in Groningen', which was discontinued in 2015. The atmosphere of the past is returning, it said, wrapped in the spirit of today. The choice to have the festival take place indoors and on Sundays and Mondays is therefore a conscious one, these are the days when many catering (entrepreneurs) are available to participate and there are no problems with the weather.
What can you expect?
Stroll through the longest and coziest festival street in Groningen and be surprised by a wide variety of eateries and stalls. Enjoy delicious and honest dishes and live music on attractive themed terraces. Actively participate in workshops and prepare your own food, among other things. Discover local entrepreneurs at the regional products market and get acquainted with snacks and drinks that you may have never heard of.
The complete festival program will be presented to the public at the end of January, until then new participants and activities will be revealed on the social media channels and website of the event.
