What’s On in Amsterdam This September

September brings culture back in full swing. Here’s what not to miss:

Uitmarkt (late August / early September): The city’s official opening of the cultural season, the last week end of August, with open-air performances, live music, and art installations. Learn more about Uitmarkt.
Open Monumentendag (Heritage Days): On September 13th and 14th, Amsterdam’s hidden historical buildings open their doors to visitors.
Amsterdam Fringe Festival: A celebration of avant-garde theatre and independent performances across the city.
Long evenings on canal terraces — still warm enough for dinner outdoors at places like De Pijp or the Nine Streets.

Whether you’re here for art, food, or atmosphere, September in Amsterdam offers a perfect mix of local life and international energy.
