Weekend tips for March 20, 21 & 22 >>

This Saturday it’s the first day of spring!  And we’re already so excited for the festival season. Last week we bought our tickets for DGTL and Best Kept Secret Festival, so counting down the days till they start now! Luckily there are enough other events and parties this weekend to get in the festivalmood. The Primo Disco Poolparty on Friday and the Ondiep Poolparty on Saturday will make sure you get the true summer feeling! Not really in the party mood? Then just visit one of the cosy markets, for example the Evening-market at Amsterdam Roest, or the Ruigmarkt in artist-village Ruigoord!

Happy weekend!
