Hongerige Wolf
Performing arts among the sheep
Where? Yes indeed, Hongerige Wolf is the name of a Groningen village. During the arts festival of the same name in July, wayward young artists get a stage for their music, dance, theatre, film, visual arts and literature. Listen to a concert on the Schapenveld, watch theatre on the Waddendijk and dance in residents' backyards.
From a straw bale
Bands, art, dance, theatre, DJs, good food: it can all be found at Festival Hongerige Wolf. The line-up during the festival is very diverse. Anyone expecting only big and well-known names will be disappointed. Discovering new talents is central. Artists in the broadest sense of the word can be admired. Bands, soloists, theatre, yoga, workshops and visual arts; everything is on show. Sit back on a straw bale, have a drink and enjoy.

Staying with character
As befits a festival, Hongerige Wolf also has a real campsite. You can pitch your tent at the edge of the village. Prefer a real bed? There are several Bed & Breakfasts, campsites and hotels in the area where you can spend the night. Like Aaierbalhoukje, where you can sleep close to the sheep fields. Local residents also open their doors to festival-goers. So you can spend the night in the garden of residents with your own tent or caravan.

Travelling to the festival together
It is smart to plan your trip well in advance. Coming by public transport? From Bad Nieuweschans station, about 10 km from the festival, there is a shuttle bus to the venue. Prefer to come by car? You can also easily arrange a cosy ride along. If you have a spare seat or are looking for one yourself, you can sign up and be matched with other festival-goers. Good for the environment and for the atmosphere.
