Will the Markt van het Noorden return in 2026? Following a successful edition in 2024 at the Suikerunie site and a regrettably cancelled 2025, many residents of Groningen are eagerly looking forward to June 2026. Although the organisers have not yet released any official details for this year, we are hoping once again for a weekend full of handmade creations, the famous Swap Club and the magic of street theatre group Auth&Tiek. As soon as more is known about the dates for June 2026, you’ll find it here.
