About this event
Amsterdam's open-air theatre in the Vondelpark runs a fixed weekend rhythm all summer: dance on Friday nights, family shows on Saturday afternoons, comedy on Saturday evenings, classical on Sunday mornings and pop or jazz on Sunday afternoons. Late July and August bring Danstheater AYA, BOLLOX Live, the Ying Wa Symphonic Band and trumpeter Peter Somuah's band, among others.
Why we picked it
Every performance is free by design, the programming is genuinely curated rather than filler, and there is something on almost every weekend across the window.
Free entry
The theatre states all performances are 'vrij toegankelijk' — freely accessible to all. A voluntary contribution is collected after each show.
