On June 1, Groningen celebrates the Jouw Grote Markt festival for the new Grote Markt that is almost ready. In the meantime, the municipality is also busy producing a nice book about this redesigned square.
A book with a lot of history, interesting facts and how the Grote Markt has fared over the years. Naturally, the current approach also receives a lot of attention. Naturally, with many photos, drawings and other visual material.
Call
The book also includes contributions from Stadjers and other Groningen residents. After all, it is also their Grote Markt.
That’s why an appeal to the residents: Have you ever experienced something memorable on the Grote Markt? Have you asked your loved one for her hand in marriage? Were you there cheering on the newly promoted FC?
Did you float anxiously high on a fairground attraction? Did you ever make your best purchase at the flea market? Or do you have another interesting, exciting or strong story about the Grote Markt, perhaps handed down by your (grand)parents?
Interested residents are asked to write down their Grote Markt moment, in a maximum of 100 words. So short and sweet. And they can also provide a nice, suitable photo or other illustration at the same time.
The editors of the book then make a selection from the submissions. Who knows, maybe ‘your’ contribution will be included in the book that will be published in December.
Entries can be sent to: [email protected] . This is possible until June 15.
