Assignment

An unforgettable celebration where all De Goudse employees come together at the table. Unlike previous anniversary events—after all, you only turn 100 once—this has the feel of a gala more than a festival. With surprising dishes, standout entertainment, and an energetic atmosphere, it’s an evening that exceeds all expectations. Renowned artists add to the occasion, making the celebration even more special. Everyone feels part of the family, enjoys the moment, and receives a heartfelt "Thank you!"

Result

The day begins with a festive journey. Colleagues are picked up by buses or travel by car, with the Goudse Playlist setting the mood along the way. The celebration continues at Taets in Zaandam, where guests are welcomed with umbrellas with fresh churros and a venue filled with De Goudse branding. Drinks are served at the Champagne wall, and everyone takes their seat at their designated table for a Mediterranean-inspired three-course meal. As the food is served, the lights dim, and the Goudse Song fills the room, with a singer opening the evening in a magical way. The De Goudse board then takes to the stage to address the employees. During the main course, singing waiters surprise the guests. The atmosphere intensifies with "Bella Ciao" and waving napkins, followed by a festive dessert parade. A brass band then leads everyone to the stage, where the curtain falls to reveal the Sven Hammond Big Band. The night transforms into an energetic concert with performances by artists such as Emma Heesters, Jaap Reesema, Alain Clark, Waylon, and local talents. The evening concludes with a DJ set and party buses taking the guests home.
