Upcoming Events in September
This month, there are several exciting events taking place in the Netherlands, offering a range of activities for all interests.
Craft Festival
The Craft at the Image Festival is an event where craftsmen showcase their skills and knowledge in producing various products. It’s an opportunity to learn from them and even try your hand at making something yourself, such as a neon lamp or ceramic piece. This festival is perfect for children and adults alike, promoting the exchange of knowledge and skills rather than selling products. The festival will take place on September 27th and 28th in the NDSM LOODS in Amsterdam.
National Potato Harvest Day
For those who love the outdoors and are interested in farming, the National Potato Harvest Day is a great event to attend. On September 6th, ten farms across the country will open their doors, allowing visitors to harvest potatoes and learn about the growth process. There will also be a competition, the "NK Potato Gods," for those who enjoy a challenge. The event will take place from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
