Grachten Festival in Amsterdam

[Joanandjoe]

We will be in Amsterdam from 11 to 14 August, during the Grachten music festival.  The location of the events will be a factor in our choice of hotels (Hilton, Banks Mansion, or Hotel JL No. 76).  Sadly, the English language version of the festival web site is very user unfriendly, and we can't figure out when and where the concerts will take place.  Is the Dutch language web site helpful?  If not, is it simply too early to have a concert schedule for this August event?  Dank je.

The main concert on Saturdaynight takes place more or less in front of the  Pulitzer Hotel at Prinsengracht. You will see lots of small boats in the canal enjoying the concert. It will be broadcasted on dutch TV life. The other concerts are at various locations around town depending the day. It is very populair and not always easy to get tickets.

Thank you, Ine.  The web sites you gave us are what we were able to find before I posted my question.  The main concert is the night before we arrive, and only one concert is listed per night on the first web site,  The second web site has links that should open to show what concerts there are each day; but I can't open the links.  Is the Dutch language web site any better?  I'm trying to find "what's on" for 11, 12, 13 and (morning only) 14 August.

I agree it seems difficult to get more and exact information on their websites. Maybe not all is known yet.

This concert I found during the day, but of course there will be and must be more.

Maybe  you better send an email to the organisation to find out the exact places and times. info@grachtenfestival.nl

Or get on the list for their newsletter. https://www.grachtenfestival.nl/nieuwsbrief
