Riot police made several charges to disperse the youths trying to get access to the downtown street.
The birthday girl had meanwhile fled her home earlier in the day.
"She posted the invitation on Facebook and sent it to friends, who then sent it to other friends and soon it spread like wildfire across the Internet," Groningen police spokeswoman Melanie Zwama told AFP.
Several websites have sprung up dedicated to the party and referring to 2012 US teen film "Project X" about a suburban birthday party getting out of control after an invitation goes viral.
One site referred to Friday's party as "Project X Haren", counting down the seconds to the event and claiming 150,000 people had been invited. It also published the party's address,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], adding: "By all means bring some friends!"
Previously "Project X" parties have run riot in different parts of the world including Germany, Australia and especially the United States, where teens wrecked an unoccupied Texas home, causing damage of up to $100,000.
