In 2026, the Grachtenfestival will return to Amsterdam for the 29th edition. At the Grachtenfestival everything starts with music. Young musicians from all over the world surprise you with their own musical stories. With more than 95 locations, the Grachtenfestival will again be present this year in all parts of Amsterdam, with many free neighborhood concerts, but also at unique locations such as the Royal Palace on Dam Square, the ARTIS Planetarium and Fabrique des Lumières. This ensures that the Canal Festival always continues to innovate and allows visitors to (re)discover the city.

The music festival attracts so many visitors every year. There are always many young, talented musicians on the program, for whom the Grachtenfestival means the next step in their career. The approximately two hundred concerts take place in countless places in the city: in churches, parks, gardens, living rooms, concert halls and of course the Amsterdam canals.

About 100 locations will be the setting for various concerts - from classical music to jazz to music from other cultures. Past, present and future come together in contemporary combinations of musicians, genres and locations.
