There are many activities on offer in Amsterdam, including Silent Marches, commemorations, Freedom Meals, exhibitions and films! Check out our calendar for further details.

We welcome everyone in Amsterdam to experience our city-wide Liberation Festival on May 4 and 5, so many of the activities are suitable for audiences and participants who do not speak the Dutch language. We invite you to join a Silent March, a commemoration or a Freedom Meal. You may also like to visit an exhibition, film, or one of the many other activities on offer.

To make the program more accessible for everyone in Amsterdam, we have translated a selection of our activities into English. All these activities are either English spoken or not language oriented at all. You can find details in our calendar below.
