Is blues music more your thing? Then you can also go to Assen, because the whole weekend is dedicated to the blues during the Asser Blues Days. The festival kicks off in City Hotel de Jonge, but blues can be heard throughout Assen this weekend. The busiest is Saturday, but you can also pick up a blues grain on Sunday. Want to learn how to play the blues yourself? That is also possible, because on Saturday there will be a workshop and a talent podium in Podium Zuidhaege.
Enjoying a smile and a tear after a busy garden bird display day is very possible this weekend. Yes, you can go to a theater performance near you for next to nothing, if you live near Emmen or Hoogeveen. You can go to a performance in ATLAS Theater or Theater De Tamboer for only ten euros. In De Tamboer you can visit Paul de Leeuw and Harm en Roelof, among others. The doors are also open on Saturday afternoon for an Open Day. The latter also applies to the ATLAS Theater. There you can go to Neil Diamond Memories or Tapas Kleinkunst for ten euros.
