Event Details
Welcome to Grasnapolsky 2027 in Groningen
Grasnapolsky has been a weekend of music, art and discovery at unusual locations in the Netherlands since 2010. After several years in the former strawboard factory De Toekomst in Scheemda, the festival moved to the city of Groningen in 2026 and has been held on the site of the former sugar factory ever since. Exact dates for 2027 have not yet been confirmed, though the festival is expected to return to Groningen in spring.
