According to the district, the market provides extra liveliness in the new district. “A market was also a long-cherished wish of residents.”
The organizer of the market, Marc Schoonebeek, appointed by the district, speaks of a social meeting place. “It will be a growth brilliant, a unique market where market traders with a proven reputation will stand. You really have to experience it.”
Sebastiaan Capel, chairman of the Zuid district council, is also enthusiastic. “We want a lively neighborhood and a weekly market contributes to this. It is a pilot, so I am curious about the experiences of the entrepreneurs, residents and visitors. And I will certainly take a look myself.”
The opening of the market is on Thursday September 2. The trial will run until March 2023.
