Celebrate the art. Celebrate the city. Celebrate it together.
Amsterdam is a city of makers and storytellers. For 750 years, generations have been building a city that never stands still. With Lieve Stad, 750 we celebrate that energy, the wealth of cultures and the power of collaboration. This festival brings together the city's traditions with new voices and perspectives, in a rich program spread across the city.
Richard Kofi, programmer Lieve Stad, on behalf of ITA:
"Amsterdam draws its strength from its super diverse community and our struggle for a shared future. The creators contributing to this festival are at the forefront of that development. They show us how art can create profound encounters and broaden our outlook."
