On Saturday evening the 28th, Night Mayor Merlijn Poolman, Colin Mooijman, and Inge van Calkar present the Groninger Horeca Nacht, the benefit evening in support of the Groningen hospitality industry and nightlife.
It will be a spectacular evening-long program packed with musical performances, short interviews with well-known Groningen residents, and an endless series of prizes given away to the viewers.
All of this with the goal of raising as many donations as possible for the hospitality entrepreneurs of Groningen and helping them get through the ‘corona winter’ together.
The Local Legends campaign was launched for this purpose on Wednesday, November 18, and within a few days, Groningen hospitality establishments raised tens of thousands of euros in donations for more than 30 businesses.
However, this is still not enough, and main sponsor Hooghoudt sets the tone this evening by providing a donation to 10 hospitality businesses with a strong cultural profile.
Hooghoudt also challenges other Groningen entrepreneurs to do the same and to work together as fellow Groningers to ensure that the sector continues to have a future.
Through a 2.5-hour live stream broadcast on the Sikkom Facebook page and website, donation growth will be tracked in the style of the Giro 555 relief campaigns, donors will be put in the spotlight, and prizes will be given away continuously.
The performances by the Groningen artists and studio guests who will be dropping by will be announced in the run-up to November 28, but for an evening full of music, entertainment, and support for the Groningen hospitality industry, tune in on Saturday evening the 28th at 19:30 to the Sikkom Facebook page!
