In the weekend of November 22 to 24, 2024, The Spirit of Amsterdam brings the city together, specially for Amsterdam 750. This three-day city festival transforms 37 unique locations into theaters, dance floors, quiet spaces, cinemas, dining spots, and more.
During The Spirit of Amsterdam, music, art, culture, and rituals come together. Various places of worship in the city will be given a contemporary twist during the festival. There will be no religious messages, but space for connection and solidarity. From intimate concerts and theater performances to inspiring moments of silence and shared meals. The festival consciously focuses on compassion, empathy, and vulnerability, aiming to bring laughter and togetherness back to our city—especially now, in a time when many people feel isolated.
The festival highlights what has made our city unique for 750 years: coming together and sharing stories. In collaboration with artists, social organizations, and local initiatives, The Spirit of Amsterdam invites everyone to participate and contribute to a closer-knit Amsterdam. At least 10% of all tickets will be reserved for people who often “miss out on the party,” such as the homeless or those with limited means.
Don’t miss this opportunity to be inspired and connected during the festival that honors the past of our city and celebrates a future of solidarity. Stefan, the founder of The Spirit of Amsterdam, enthusiastically shares his personal tips for this unique event. Each festival day, we highlight one of his recommendations for you:
