Next New Year’s Eve, the Grote Markt in Groningen will be dedicated to the “3,2,1 Gold & New Countdown Show”. For visitors, this means a New Year’s Eve full of music, art and interactive experiences.

Visitors can enjoy a varied program spread throughout the market. Three glass vessels form the centerpiece, each offering a unique experience. For example, local DJs spin dance beats, a robot choir performs a futuristic show, and a performance in the “Time Machine” symbolizes leaving behind the old year.

The illuminated Ferris wheel offers an intimate audio tour highlighting the highlights of 2024. Additionally, a large interactive light circle creates an enchanting atmosphere with music from Groningen producer Jonathan Kruizenga.

Instead of fireworks, as in some other municipalities, Groningen opts for an impressive light show during the countdown. This is part of the council’s wider plans to keep the center fireworks-free. The countdown, which takes place at midnight, is the highlight of the evening.

The event is suitable for all ages and lasts from 6:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m.
