April is here, and you know what that means. The Aa team, curious as ever, has scoured the internet, read through countless submissions, and done the fieldwork to compile a comprehensive list of must-attend events for the weeks ahead.
There’s something about April in Amsterdam. The city stretches out of its winter slumber, parks fill with people and pollen, and suddenly your calendar starts looking a lot more lively. It’s the month when planning ahead actually starts to feel exciting again.
Think of this cheat sheet as your early heads-up, a gentle nudge to carve out space for the things that might require a bit of foresight. Whether it’s a screening, a pop-up, a talk, or that one night you’ll be glad you didn’t miss, let this guide be your compass.
Use it as your companion, give yourself something to look forward to, and explore the city on your terms this month.
