SUMMARY:De Parade Amsterdam 2026
DESCRIPTION:De Parade is the travelling theatre festival of the Netherlands\, and its grand finale takes place in Amsterdam: from 24 July to 9 August 2026\, Martin Luther Kingpark on the banks of the Amstel fills with theatre tents\, fairground lights and around 75\,000 visitors. \nA fairground of theatre\nDe Parade works like a festival of tasting portions: dozens of striped tents each host short performances of 30-45 minutes – theatre\, comedy\, music\, dance and circus – so you can see three or four shows in one evening. Between shows\, the festival terrain itself is the attraction: swings\, food stalls from oysters to poffertjes\, live bands and the famous merry-go-round. \nHow it works\n\nEntrance ticket gives access to the terrain; performances sell separate tickets (typically €5-€15)\nBook ahead or gamble: popular shows sell out daily\, but queuing at the tent often works too\nAfternoons are family time with kids’ performances; evenings are for the grown-ups\n\nPractical information\n\nDates: 24 July – 9 August 2026\nLocation: Martin Luther Kingpark\, along the Amstel\nGetting there: tram 12 or metro 52 to Amstelstation area\, or a beautiful cycle along the river\nTickets: via deparade.nl\n\nInsider tip: arrive by water. The Amstel route past the park is one of the prettiest stretches for a canal cruise on a summer evening – you’ll see the festival lights from the river.
