Amsterdam’s 750th Anniversary: A Year-Long Celebration of Culture and Community
On October 27, 2025, Amsterdam will celebrate its 750th anniversary, marking the culmination of a year-long jubilee filled with over 200 events and activities that begin on October 27, 2024. Designed to bring the city to life in unprecedented ways, this celebration will spotlight local talent, foster new connections, and leave a lasting impact for future generations. All activities will address the unique challenges faced by Amsterdammers, with a shared belief that coming together to celebrate is essential—especially in challenging times.
The festivities begin with an Opening Concert at the Ziggo Dome on October 27, 2024, featuring a musical and visual tribute to both Amsterdam’s historic roots and modern vibrance. Throughout the year, a range of events—musicals, theatre, exhibitions, sports, neighbourhood gatherings, storytelling projects, and activities for children—will unfold across the city. In June 2025, Amsterdam will host ToekomstTiendaagse, a ten-day celebration focused on the future, ending with a massive party on the Ring A10 on June 21. Summer and autumn will bring milestone events as SAIL, the Amsterdam Marathon, and Kwaku Festival each mark their own 50th anniversaries, joining the jubilee celebrations.
The year-long festivities will conclude with a grand celebration on October 27, 2025, Amsterdam’s official 750th birthday.
