Near my real life house, here in Groningen, is a
winter event named WinterWelVaart (Winter Prosperity in English).
The winter event WinterWelVaart is held
every year between the Feast of St Nicholas and Christmas. This year between
Friday 20 December and Sunday 22 December, and dozens of chartered ships will
be moored on the Hoge en Lage der A and Pottebakkersrijge.
There are plenty of activities going on
during WinterWelVaart, such as talks, exhibitions, music, activities for
children and lots more. There is a different program every day.
The
event includes a number of special features. There is a Zodiac art route set up
by artists, admission to the Northern Maritime Museum is free, and there is a special Christmas market on the Lage en
Hoge der A.
Last year there was snow during the event
and that gave it a more winter appearance.
