About
De Parade is a traveling summer theater festival that pitches its tents in Martin Luther Kingpark. Shows are short, about 30 minutes each, so a family can see two or three in one afternoon. Afternoons start with the KinderParade: shows, workshops and activities for kids, plus the old-fashioned swing ride, swinging boats and a stand where kids bake their own poffertjes. Evenings lean adult.
Where it is
Martin Luther Kingpark
Amsteldijk, 1079 LM Amsterdam
