Uitmarkt

From August 27th until August 29th

The Uitmarkt is the national opening of the cultural season and the largest cultural festival in the Netherlands. So, there.  Over the years, the Uitmarkt has evolved into a festival attracting 500,000 visitors and featuring 2,000 performers at more than 30 venues.

This year the Uitmarkt will take place in Amsterdam's city centre, with the town's magnificent mansions and canal-side houses providing a stunning backdrop. In theatres and museums and at surprising venues all over the city centre - for example in the Amsterdam Hermitage - you will be able to enjoy performances.  The three main stages will be in Museum square, Leidse square and the Vondelpark. Along the approach routes you will find a book market and an information market.  I'm not sure what an information market is but it's here.  You can ask them.
