Events & Festivals 2011-2012 Amsterdam City of Festivals Amsterdam is a cultural city unparalleled in both the Netherlands as in the rest of Europe. This is partly due to the 'fixed' offerings, such as the many important museums, theatres and concert venues, but Amsterdam also offers plenty of 'temporary culture,' in the form of festivals. Amsterdam has over 100 annual cultural events, each with an appealing and diverse offer: ranging from young talent to world famous artists, from classic to innovative, small or large in size. Many festivals fall under the 'language no problem' category and take place throughout the year.
