Dancing and relaxing during the day at ADE
Amsterdam Dance Event draws tens of thousands of visitors to the city every year. Between the evening and night programs, Van de Werf at the NDSM shipyard is a place to catch your breath or start the day off peacefully. DJs play sets during the day while you sit by the IJ with a drink or a bite to eat. No rushing, no strict schedule.
View over the IJ at the NDSM shipyard
Van de Werf is situated directly on the water at the NDSM shipyard in Amsterdam North. The terrace overlooks the IJ, with the city skyline on the opposite bank. The shipyard is one of the permanent ADE locations in North and attracts a mix of festival-goers, locals, and music lovers every year. The atmosphere is relaxed, and the space is large.
