From June 21 to 28, a huge gift will travel through Amsterdam. The municipality invites Amsterdam residents and Weespers to come up with their own gift idea for the city’s birthday. You can receive a subsidy to implement your idea. The last round of subsidies will start on September 2. The exact locations of the traveling gift can be found on Agenda – Stichting Amsterdam 750.
On October 27, 2025, Amsterdam will celebrate its 750th anniversary. We will celebrate this anniversary for a year from October 27, 2024. Amsterdam residents and Weespers can decide for themselves how they want to celebrate this special birthday. Residents and (non-profit) organizations from Amsterdam, including Weesp and Driemond, can apply for a grant for ideas that they have specially devised for the celebration. On September 2, 2024, the Amsterdam 750 Foundation will open the final subsidy round
