Experience late summer: this is what you can do in September in Hartje Gorcum

| | |

The summer holidays are (almost) over, but in Hartje Gorcum the buzz is far from over. The month of September is all about culture, history, music and culinary discoveries. From a fresh start at school to monumental openings, artistic encounters and special films: the fortified town still has plenty to offer after the summer.

1 September - Back to school

A new month means a fresh start. Schools are starting again and Hartje Gorcum welcomes pupils and students with open arms. Time to take off your school bike, pack your rucksack and head into town after school. Whether you stop for an ice cream, go shopping or just hang out with friends on the city rampart: Gorcum is alive, also after school.

6 September Karaoke Party at Club Senz

Grab the microphone, choose your favourite song and sing along during the Karaoke Party at Club Senz. Whether you dare to shine solo or prefer to take the stage together with friends, it promises to be a fun evening full of music and sing-alongs.
