With the REACT EU emergency program "Perspective Inner City", the state of Lower Saxony supported 207 municipalities and municipal associations in Lower Saxony with a total of around 120 million euros from the EU REACT EU reconstruction aid, as part of the Union's response to the COVID 19 pandemic. Funding was to be provided for projects and concepts that would help make city centers fit for the future, enable new uses and quality of stay, and promote digitization and climate protection. The city of Osnabrück received 1.8 million euros from this funding program. The "Moonlightshopping" 2022 project had a share of 50,000 euros.
2022: The Marketing Osnabrück GmbH would like to unite the different actors of the city center such as retail, gastronomy and service providers by a city event under the motto "Moonlightshopping" on 29.10.2022 and contribute to the revitalization of the city center. With an attractive and atmospheric supporting program, the "stroll" through Osnabrück's city center on this day is to be turned into an experience by live acts, street artists and DJs. The shopping streets will be transformed into "little stages" that invite visitors to linger and participate. The city should once again be perceived supra-regionally as an "experience and meeting place" and invite people to store in Osnabrück. As an incentive, opening hours until 10:00 p.m. will be offered, accompanied by a program in the city center, to make Saturday a special shopping day. The focus is also on the "mix of uses" of a lively city center, as not only the retail trade but also the gastronomy will be put in the spotlight by the event. The attractive presentation of the city of Osnabrück should leave a lasting impression on visitors, encouraging them to visit the city of Osnabrück again after the end of the event and thus strengthening the business location.
Starting at 5 p.m., there will be surprises and fun activities all over the city center. A laser show lights up the Nikolaiort every hour on the hour. It is the prelude to further program points, which change there every hour. Enjoy this half hour before you move on - stores and restaurants have something special to offer this evening, both inside and outside!
