The Awakenings festival is a two-day Techno music festival in the Netherlands, and is the highlight of the Dutch Techno scene, if not all of Europe! The festival takes place at the end of June, just west of Amsterdam, in Spaarnwoude, between Amsterdam and Haarlem. There are over 90 acts, performing in eight stages and tents at the festival location.
Reviewed By Nilskh - Hvidovre, Denmark
7 stages, the best techno artists from around the world, great surroundings with lakes, trees, shadow, lots of clean toilet facilities and clean/fresh drinking water, many food and drink stops and people gathered to enjoy the music. One thing: the festival is missing a few spots for relaxing with less music.

Reviewed By AnneDickie - Wimborne Minster, United Kingdom
We spent the week in Amsterdam during last year's (2019) Pride festival and can honestly say the whole event was absolutely amazing, especially the Saturday canal parade. On the day of the parade, the whole city got involved in some way and partied from early morning onwards. We found ourselves a spot on Prinsengracht canal a good hour before the first of the floats were due to arrive, which proved a very wise move as if we'd left it later we wouldn't have been able to see anything. We moved on to the Amstel later in the afternoon but the crowds were so huge we wished we'd hadn't moved from our original place. We enjoyed it so much we're tempted to visit again in 2020.
