Hello, dear all:
I have been informed of a kind of party with a parede which is taking place next 07.09 in Ámsterdam nad I do not know exactly if you would advice it or not as a tourism event.
It is organized by Schutterij van Ámsterdam and the web page is mainly in Dutch, so, no much information is available.
Have anybody been there other years? Did you enjoy it?

Thank you
Groetjes!

Hi,

I tried to google it but I don't get much information about it or I am looking at the wrong place.
Can you give the website so I can look for you?

Hi Sonia,

The website is very very interesting!!!

The Civic Guard arose in 1300 and is at rest since 1907.
In 2010 they blow new life in it.
With this the history of Amsterdam comes to life again.
Once a year they organize a fair and once in the five years a big fair. This year it will be a big event and this is what you talk about.

So to answer your question: this is indeed suitable as a touristic event and in my opinion an event you can not miss.
