Meet Me in the Heart of North, Evening Market

Evening Market at Buikslotermeerplein 17:00-20:00 (Free)

For one evening, Buikslotermeerplein transforms into the beating heart of Amsterdam Noord.

On Thursday 28 May, residents, makers, students and local organisations come together during Meet Me in the Heart of North — an evening market filled with creativity, music, stories, food and connection.

From live performances and visual arts to local initiatives and shared experiences, the event celebrates the people, energy and imagination of Noord.

What to Expect

Visitors can explore a diverse programme, including:

  • Crafts & Makers – local and student-driven creations
  • Tourism & Experience – new perspectives on Amsterdam Noord
  • Visual Arts – art installations, projections and visual experiments
  • Dance & Music – performances, rhythm and live energy
  • Theatre & Stories – personal narratives and local voices
  • Nature – sustainable and green initiatives
  • Food – local flavours, conversations and shared experiences

A Living Lab in Public Space

The Evening Market is more than an event. It is a moment to meet, test ideas and shape the future of the area together.

Students from Inholland University of Applied Sciences have worked with local residents, entrepreneurs and partners to develop creative concepts for Buikslotermeerplein. During the evening, visitors are invited to experience these ideas, share feedback and become part of the process.
