Over Het IJ Festival

10Best Says

This summer festival of music, theater and performing arts takes place on the NDSM-werf, a vast former shipyard in Amsterdam-Noord (Amsterdam-North), which can be reached by taking the free ferry from behind Centraal Station. Like De Parade, most of the performances are in Dutch but many also transcend any language barriers if you're game. It can be equally fun just to wander around the grounds and soak up the atmosphere.
