Frequently asked questions

What kind of free events are there in Amsterdam?

Free listings tend to be gallery openings, talks, open rehearsals, community days and the occasional concert or club night with no door charge. The mix changes every week, and the page updates daily as venues publish new dates.

How do you know an event is free?

An event is listed here only when the venue’s or organiser’s own listing marks it as free. Events with no price information are left out rather than guessed at.

Do I need to book for a free event?

Sometimes. Popular free events often ask you to reserve a place in advance, and some run on a first come, first served basis. The listing links to the venue’s own page, which says how entry works.

Which week does this page cover?

It lists free events from today through the next seven days. Past dates drop off automatically and new ones appear as venues add them, so it is worth checking again later in the week.
