What's happening in Amsterdam?

Even though summer is over, autumn in Amsterdam is just as beautiful. While Amsterdammers enjoy the last rays of sunshine, you can also hop aboard our open-air boats, such as the open canal cruise, Aperol Spritz cruise and canal bikes, where you can explore the city at your own pace. As we prepare for an eventful winter, a number of important events are also taking place in Amsterdam this fall:

 

24 Hours North

As part of Amsterdam's 750th anniversary celebrations, a host of free activities and workshops will be held in the Noord district on September 13, the perfect way to experience the city in a new way.

 

Amsterdam Dance Event 2025

The Amsterdam Dance Event returns from October 22 to 26. Amsterdam will transform into one of the busiest cities in the world, with more than 2,500 DJs and artists and thousands of fans from all over the world.
