Be a culture vulture at Amsterdam event

Amsterdam offers a host of cultural events this August at Uitmarkt with a mix of shows on outdoor and indoor stages all across the city.

Taking place from August 27-29 the event is free of charge and includes cabaret, pop music, theatre and mime.

In addition families can enjoy dance, classical music, opera and film.

Those wanting something different can try the information market where cultural institutions provide information on their upcoming events and the book market where publishers show their latest editions.
