9 July 2015

Weekend tips for JULY 10, 11 and 12!

There’s so much to do again this weekend! The sun is coming back and so we need to dance at the festival A Day at the Park in the beautiful Amsterdam Forest! After all the partying at Glastonbury I would like to rest properly myself and arrange the last few things for my brother’s wedding next week. So Saturday I’ll be enjoying my resting time in the new Hoxton HotelAlso fun to check out is the new Worst (sausage) Atelier of Brandt & Levie that is opening this weekend. Or have a good brunch at Salmuera, since they’re having their first this weekend.

Save the date and get your tickets quick before it’s all sold out. Next week we’re swinging again at our second Rooftop Disco! Ticket sales has already started so buy yours quick before they’re all sold out again ;-). >> ENJOY!
