Check the story of Frankie Dros, co-organizer of Blijdorp Festival, Containerbar Noord and the nightclub RTM. As a creative entrepreneur he is always looking for new and inspiring places. A few years ago, the undiscovered Noordplein caught his eye and the idea of Containerbar Noord arose. Last year he took the chance to turn the popular pop-up bar into a permanent bar with a temporarily takeaway counter. Together with the weekly Oogstmarkt, Frankie brings Noordplein to life. We can't wait to dance and enjoy his events again!
