THIS IS WHERE YOU WANT TO GO ON LIBERATION DAY IN AMSTERDAM
On May 5 we celebrate the fact that we’re free and most of us do that with a group of friends, with a drink in our hand and a big smile on our faces. No idea yet what you’ll be doing on Liberation Day this year? Lucky you! We’ve put the best parties, festivals and events on a list for you. Dance, go to a concert on the Amstel or go to one of the celebratory lunches and dinners. We’re in the mood!
