Some more updates to the weekend. And not be forgotten the summer long Vondelpark Openlucht theater, and the Van Gogh Museum Avond. Furthermore, many have expressed a wish to have a weekly email reminder about the agenda on the day I post the up-dated (long) weekend agenda (usually Wednesdays). (Although you can also have an RSS feed which gives you updates automatically to your inbox when I post.) If you are interested in getting a weekly reminder, please send me an email: busyinamsterdam at gmail dot com with the subject line "REMIND ME", then I will add you to the list. Enjoy your weekend!

Open Air Flea Market / Vlooiemarkt @ Ij-hallen, Amsterdam Noord, Sunday, 9.00 - 16.30, €3.50 €1.50 for kids. You can take a free ferry to NDSM-werf from behind Central Station, leaving every half hour, or buses 91 and 94 get off at Klaprozenweg.
This is a monthly market, it is huge. I have been to this market a few times and have not seen a lot of clothes which I expected, although there is lots of stuff for filling a house, antiques, toys, furniture, knick-knacks, etc... furthermore the stands change frequently and this outside/open air version is much larger than the inside market. There is also music and food & drinks available.
Why go? Check out Noord and find some unique items for your coffee table - perhaps something Kitsch Kitchen-esque??:) at half the price.
Wielie and Adil exhitbition @ de Creatieve Groote Club, Damrak 70 (the old C&A office), final weekend, unknown price.
Judith and Edith (two artists) walked the streets of Amsterdam, listening to peoples conversations, made cartoons out of them and affixed them lawn/garden chairs (klapstoeltje).
Why go? certainly off beat and unique.
