In the manner of a travelling fair or circus, De Parade has been criss-crossing the Netherlands and abroad for the past 17 years. Its colourful troupe makes itself at home in the best parks and squares the city has to offer. From 3 until 19 August De Parade is amidst the green surroundings of the Martin Luther Kingpark in Amsterdam, showcasing some of the most original, creative and impressive talent from theatre troupes throughout the country and beyond.

This colourful collection of theatre tents, fountains, a whirl-a-gig, and an array of international cuisine give De Parade festival the surreal twist of an old-fashioned fairground turned inside out - with the audience central and the action revolving around them.

What is there to expect? A lot! The public can choose from a selection of on-going, simultaneous performances, many produced especially for this event, varying from three minutes to an hour and repeated several times throughout the day. The range of options include musical revues, magic shows, slapstick, comedy, film and many other original forms of entertainment. From the light absurdic and musical performance Cruise Control of Benders & De Lathouder and the, in Holland already famous, Ashton Brothers with their mixture of cabaret, slapstick, rock & roll until Ad Visser who sings, plays en roars in F#ck the 70’s! And many many more!!
Many performances are in English or without language barriers. There is also an extensive children's parade.
