Christmas market at the Dam

As part of the event Winterworld 2005 the Dam will be transformed into a characteristic Christmas market from 7 until 26 December 2005. The 600 square metres skating rink will be surrounded by some 25 stalls shaped like wooden chalets with a wide variety of Christmas presents, wintry snacks and old trades. The Christmas market will feature a large crib and a festively illuminated Christmas tree of over 10 metres in height. The event is completed with suitable music which allows visitors to get into a proper Christmas spirit. Winterworld 2005 is open daily from 10 am to 22 pm. Note that Amsterdam is always a much frequented place from November onwards, because of visitors who do their Christmas shopping here. The skating rink will stay at the Dam until 7 January 2007. The rink will be closed on 30 and 31 December, due to the preparations for the New Year's party on 31 December. For more information: Organisatiebureau DON, +31 (0) 294 233654
