The Dutch celebrate the 1945 liberation from German occupation each year with parties and free-entry festivals all over the Netherlands. In Amsterdam, there's always a free outdoors pop concert on the Museumplein and free open-air classical music concert on the River Amstel, outside the Carré. The night before, on 4 May, there's a more formal ceremony on the Dam, with a two-minute silence observed at 8pm.
