The birds are chirping, the sun is gone, and your SPF hasn’t seen the light of day in weeks. Somehow, summer in Amsterdam is feeling more like a rumour than a reality: grey skies, rogue winds, and the occasional glimmer of Vitamin D. Still, summer is a state of mind. And there’s absolutely nothing that will stop us from making the most of it.
So whether you’re plotting your next night out between drizzles, dipping into festival mode, or scheming a late-summer get-together, our August Cheat Sheet has you covered. Parties, exhibitions, performances, workshops, and pop-ups, all the good stuff, curated and condensed.
Because even when the weather’s giving October, the vibe is strictly midsummer.
As always, scroll for the full guide, and keep an eye on our feed on Mondays for the weekly PSA.
Live a little. It’s August.
