Accessibility (subject to change)

There are currently many road works in and around Groningen. We therefore advise you to plan your trip well via http://www.vananaarbeter.nl or www.groningenreachbaar.nl. There is a large parking lot at the Gasunie building, approximately 100 meters from the site, where you can park for free. Parking attendants will guide you there. Because the space here is not infinite, we recommend that you also use P + R Hoogkerk and from there take line 3 or 4 to the Verzets Krijgerslaan stop. From there it is about a 15-minute walk to Zomerfolk.

Public transport
From the Central Station in Groningen there are several options to get to the festival by bus. Bus line 10 (direction Hoornsemeer) goes to the Concourslaan stop. From there it is about a 15 minute walk to the festival. Bus line 9 (direction Eelde) drives to the Corpus den Hoorn Zuid stop. It is also about a 15 minute walk from there. Bus lines 3 (to Leek-Tolbert) and 4 (Roden) drive to the Verzetsvluchterslaan stop and then it is also about a fifteen minute walk. Always consult ov9292.nl before departure and for the walking routes Google Maps (navigate on “Zomerfolk”.
