Traveling theater festival De Parade returns to Amsterdam this year with more than 90 different theater, music and dance performances for their 25th anniversary!
Held in Martin Luther Kingpark along the Amstel, the festival has something for everyone, young and old. Attend some of the shows or simply relax on one of the many cafe terraces to drink and dine with friends and listen to the free music performances.
Entrance to the festival is FREE before 16:00 so get there early or pay €7.50 entry fee. Kids under 12 and those 65+ are free!
The festival runs from August 7 through 23. Opening times are as follows:
August 8th the festival grounds will open at 17:00.
