It's mid-August, time to look ahead and add the best events in September to our calendar.. There is a lot of fun things to do again! Discover the September tips below.

World Port Days

It's that time again on September 6. Then the World Port Days will start for the 47th time. Let yourself be carried away by the grandeur of the port of Rotterdam from September 6 to 8!

This year's World Port Days programme is once again full of great activities. Visitors of all ages can discover what's happening in the port today and learn all about its rich past. As in previous years, the most impressive ships moor along the quays around the Erasmus Bridge.

One of the highlights is the Saturday evening show on September 7. Enjoy spectacular performances, boat shows, special effects and, as icing on the cake, beautiful fireworks. September starts with a bang full of unforgettable events!

ALL CAPS

From September 1 to 8, it's time for ALL CAPS 2024. In recent years, the festival has brought art to various locations in our city, including beautiful murals in the Afrikaanderwijk and Feijenoord. Street artists, both local and international, have transformed the walls of buildings into works of art, thus enriching Rotterdam's neighborhoods.

In 2024, ALL CAPS will shift its focus to the Rotterdam Beverwaard district, where they will further expand their cultural and social impact. This is a new step in their ambition to make a positive contribution to the transformation of South Rotterdam. From September 1 to 8 you can see all artists live at work in Beverwaard, Rotterdam!

FLOATING CINEMA

The fourth edition of the Floating Cinema will take place in the Maritime District on September 14. If you are not yet familiar with this event, the name already gives it away: it is a cinema on the water!

During this edition you can enjoy Disney's The Little Mermaid on a gigantic screen measuring 12 by 6 metres. You can watch the film indoors from the quay or from a boat. For those who want a more exclusive experience, it is also possible to book a private boat.


Already in the afternoon you can participate in free activities in the area on the occasion of Open Monument Day. Think of boat trips, visits to historic ships and fun workshops. The Floating Cinema site opens at 6:00 PM, and you can enjoy live music from 6:30 PM. Of course, there are also bars and snacks available to complete the evening.

Wonderlijk Delfshaven theaterfestival

The Wonderlijk Delfshaven theaterfestival takes place on the weekend of September 20, 21 and 22 in Historical Delfshaven. The theme of this year's festival is VUUR (FIRE); that sounds exciting!

During the festival you walk with a guide from one performance to another, each performed in special monumental buildings. These are beautiful locations, such as a house, office building or the attic of a museum, where you normally cannot just enter. This gives you a unique view of the Historic Delfshaven area.

In addition to the theater tour, visitors can enjoy a theater dinner at Stadsbrouwerij De Pelgrim. And in collaboration with children's studio Punt5, a painting competition is organized on Friday afternoon.
