ADE 2026Amsterdam Dance Event turns 30. The free side, day by day.

Every ADE festival, Arts & Culture and Friends event from the public ADE program, with the 192 free ones marked and filtered on by default. Each venue is placed in its district, and each address opens in Maps. Start with the five routes below, or see it all on the 3D night map. They begin with coffee and music and end on a dancefloor, mostly without paying for entry.

How to spend each day

Free meansADE tagged it Free Festival or Free A&C. A dashed stamp means the organiser says free entry in their own text, but ADE did not tag it.

Free still fills upThe free parties at Blend XL, PRIK and Bears are small bars. Come at the start time, not two hours later.

Getting aroundWestergas, the centre and De Pijp are all bikeable in 15 to 20 minutes. The ferries behind Centraal to Noord and NDSM are free.

Open all week (installations, exhibitions, pop-ups)
