Get ready for a fun, laid-back afternoon with awesome people from different communities around Amsterdam! This community is participating in the monthly XXL picnic in Oosterpark! This edition will be the last one this year, so it's now or never!

Every community adds something to the event, so we are organising City Walk before the picnic. Join us from Amsterdam Central Station to walk to Oosterpark. It’s a great way to explore the city, take some pictures and warm up for the social vibes ahead. Before heading to the park, we go to a supermarket to grab some drinks and food for the picnic. Our citywalk is always around 1,5-2 hours!

(Make sure to join the whatsapp group for live communication when the event is happening. Whatsapp link is in this description)

What to expect at the picnic:

• Bring your own drinks & snacks
• Jam session for musicians bring your instrument!
• Play fun games (You can bring your cards, sport equipment etc) or just relax in the grass
• A Philosophy corner. Deep topics only!
• Language exchange. Time to practice your Dutch or any other language!
• Most importantly, meet new people and connect across communities

Details:

• City walk meetup: 2pm at Amsterdam Central Station.
• Picnic start time: 3pm at Noorderpark ( Live location will be shared in WhatsApp group, so make sure to be on it.)
• What to bring: Drinks, snacks, picnic blanket, games, instrument (if you play), and your good vibes!
• This meetup will get crowded (100+ people)! If you would like a smaller group, come early, before the majority arrives (usually little later). After the meetup, people go for dinner or party.

Join us for an evening photowalk as we explore the quieter side of Amsterdam! A photowalk is different from a citywalk! We will stop a lot to take pictures, so keep this in mind.

We’ll meet at Amsterdam Centraal Station and take the Buiksloterweg ferry across the IJ into Noord. From there, we’ll make a circular walk (about 10 km) through creative streets, industrial area and green spaces, perfect for photography and meeting fellow enthusiasts.

🕡 Time: 18:30 – 21:00
📍 Start/End: Amsterdam Centraal Station (ferry to Buiksloterweg)
📷 Distance: ~10 km circular walk

The route is away from the main tourist spots, giving us space to enjoy the evening light, capture unique views of the city, and share tips with each other. Sunset vibes included 🌅

Bring your camera (or phone), comfy shoes, and good energy!
