Amsterdam’s vibrant night culture is under threat from gentrification and inflation. Many nightlife spaces are being displaced by rising rents and complaints from neighbors. As a result, the city’s nightlife is losing its diversity and being pushed to the outskirts. Recognizing its value, we invite citizens of Amsterdam to share their thoughts: what does night culture has to offer in your district and the city as a whole?Together with experts, we will discuss issues like gentrification, clubwashing and complaints from neighbors, and explore how you can contribute to a flourishing night culture in your neighborhood and beyond.

Programme seriesTalk of the Night

Talk of the Night is a series where we start the conversation with Amsterdam on its night culture. What do citizens of Amsterdam think of our city’s nightlife? What is needed to create a more diverse, inclusive and vibrant night for all? Talk of the Night is a series organized by representatives of night citizens and night makers in the Amsterdam Night Council (ANC) in collaboration with Pakhuis de Zwijger. The ANC, including the night mayor of Amsterdam, represents the city’s night culture in conversations with the municipality of Amsterdam. In this series, we invite all clubbers, night makers and other citizens to join in and share their thoughts, wishes and worries on night culture in Amsterdam. All input will be shared with the city’s administration. Together, we work towards a meaningful night culture for generations to come.
