Liberation Day at Pllek: freedom lunch, live music and film
Celebrate freedom on May 5th at Pllek aan het IJ in Amsterdam! On this special day, we bring together as many different people as possible to reflect on the past. We will honor our freedom and engage in conversation about the freedoms and lack of freedom that color our lives and the world today. Together, we seek connection.
From an extensive Freedom Lunch in the morning (11:30 – 15:00) to live performances on the Sena Talent Stage featuring artists who have previously participated in Popronde: The Netherlands’ largest traveling music festival. We’ll close the day with an outdoor screening of the classic Life Is Beautiful. There is something to enjoy for everyone. Thanks to the support of the “Amsterdams 4 en 5 mei comité” and the Sena Talent Stage, the full daytime program (15:00 – 21:30) is free and open to all ages.
