Summertime performances in Amsterdam

Head to the Open Air Theatre in Amsterdam's Vondelpark to catch summertime performances from children's acts, classical presentations or the latest Dutch or international pop performer. From May until early September you'll find a lot going on every Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Entry is free, although all voluntary donations are appreciated.

Theatrical heritage

Amsterdam's Vondelpark is steeped in musical and theatrical heritage. The 'Vondelpark Parties' were organised in the park and the Music Pavilion and Vondelpark Stage both hosted music, operetta and dance performances over the years. The Vondelpark Open Air Theatre sprang into life in 1974, combining the 'Vondelpark Parties' and so-called 'Happenings', the name given to the performances organised at the time.
