03 Jun Amsterdam Event Calendar for June

Amsterdam Kookt (Amsterdam Cooks)
When? 2nd – 5th of June , Oosterpark

Yes, more food this weekend. Amsterdam Kookt was held in the Olympisch stadion last year but has now moved to the Oosterpark which is much nicer in our opinion. Foodtrucks, pop-up restaurants, music performances and more.

No tickets needed, the festival is free! www.amsterdamkookt.nl

Benches collective
When? 5th of June, worldwide!
What? The largest open-air cafe in the world
If you have a bench infront of your house or garden, make it public for a day and offer appel pie, coffee, sing a song or chat to one another this Sunday. If you prefer not to host a bench, you can enjoy visiting other benches in the neighborhood. The owners of the (adopted) benches choose what time they open and what they want to offer. (this could be a dancing lesson for example) Will you miss this months event? No need to worry as they will host another one in September to close off the season.
