Every year in winter time, Amsterdam is transformed into a capital of lights, thanks to many international artists. They are able to show their latest work in the streets and canals. The theme of this year is ‘Friendship’. You can see all the works by taking a boat or walking through the city. For more information: https://www.amsterdamlightfestival.com/en/
On November 18th, the IDFA festival starts in Amsterdam. For me, one of my favourite events in Amsterdam. Our city transforms itself to the international documentary capital of the world. More than 2.500 international documentary professionals gather in Amsterdam during eleven days of films, industry events, panel discussions and much more. – See more at: https://www.idfa.nl/industry/festival.aspx
Each year in November, all museums in Amsterdam open at one night. This year Museum Night is held on November 7th. All museums become a festivity with art, drinking, dancing eating and they close at 2 am (of course you can go to after parties if you like). The Museum Night attracts about 26.000 visitors every year. Tickets cost E18,50 and it gives you entrance to basically all (more than 50) museums.
