 February - The largest Chinatown of the Netherlands is located near the famed De Wallen red light district of Amsterdam. This Chinatown, located on Zeedijk, was formed in the 1980s and has expanded beyond the red light district. The street signs in this neighbourhood are in Dutch and in Chinese. Amsterdam Chinatown also has the first and biggest buddhist temple built in Chinese style. It is named "Fo Guang Shan He Hua tempel".
Amsterdam's Chinese community recreates an authentic Chinese New Year celebration every year on the Nieuwmarkt, the heart of Amsterdam Chinatown. The festivities, which fall on February 3 this year, feature a traditional lion's dance and spectacular fireworks; the Nieuwmarkt will be covered in stalls and street artists for revelers to enjoy. See you there!

 January - Amsterdam International Fashion Week (AIFW) started in 2004 as an initiative to put Amsterdam on the map as a sparkling and internationally oriented destination for Fashion. Twice a year, Fashion Week forms the centre-point of the Dutch fashion world, with a full schedule of catwalk shows, trade fairs, presentations, lectures and parties.
Twice yearly, in late January and again in July, the AIFW takes the city by storm. The show programme is on invitation and for professionals only. AIFW takes place at the former Gas Factories in Amsterdam's ‘Westergas' area. Young and established designers show their collections on the Amsterdam catwalk. With the growing interest in ‘Dutch Design', Amsterdam International Fashion Week attracts a growing audience of directional international brands, buyers and press.
Answering to immense popular demand, Fashion Week DOWNTOWN consists of numerous public catwalk shows, parties, shop launches, lectures and expositions, all organized in collaboration with local museums, galleries, clubs and shops.
Focusing on Amsterdam's reputation as an inspiring city, the AIFW programme combines commerce with creativity. Our city has a lot to offer: a growing pool of talent, an inspiring place to visit and a vibrant place to do business.

 November - The Dancing on the Edge festival presents engaging, authentic material from choreographers and dancers as well as theatre producers and actors from the region. They search for a link to developments on the world stage while also drawing on their own cultural history and social environment.
These artists present a personal and often startling perspective of society and culture in countries. Running in correlation with the dance performances is also a fringe programme of events including music, dance films, artist talks, debates and more.
