"Amsterdam’s devotion to arts and culture is evident in this 10-day festival, which brings live music to venues throughout the city. Since 1997, the celebration has drawn over 50,000 visitors annually to the Dutch capital who come for performances held on pontoons and boats, as well as in canal mansions, hotels, museums, and parks. The Prinsengracht Concert, a concluding highlight, draws thousands to Amsterdam’s 400-year-old canals where boaters parade, and people line bridges to enjoy the spectacle.When: August" - MATADOR_NETWORK
