The IJ-Hallen is Europe's largest flea market, taking place roughly every three weeks on the outdoor NDSM wharf site (during spring and summer) or inside the NDSM warehouse (during autumn and winter). Whether you are looking for that perfect pair of vintage trainers, an antique wall mirror, a vast selection of vinyl records, or simply some new additions to your wardrobe, come and browse the stalls at the NDSM!

De IJ-hallen zijn de grootste vlooienmarkt van Europa en vinden ongeveer eens per drie weken plaats op het buiten terrein van de NDSM-werf (lente en zomer) of binnen in de NDSM Loods (herfst en winter). Ben je op zoek naar dat ene paar vintage sneakers, een nieuwe antieke wandspiegel, een grote selectie aan LP platen, of gewoon wat nieuwe aanwinsten voor je kledingkast? Kom struinen langs de kraampjes op NDSM!

Get ready for the future of electronic music as DGTL Amsterdam returns to the NDSM Docklands this Easter, from 26 to 28 March 2027. Experience cutting-edge stage designs, forward-thinking sounds and a weekend full of art, innovation and collective energy. From globally renowned names such as Amelie Lens to tomorrow’s trailblazers, this spring brings pure dancefloor magic.

On 27 April 2026, the wharf will once again turn orange during the 15th edition of NDSM Vrijhaven. During the city’s largest children’s flea market, it’s not just about selling – the NDSM-werf is above all a place full of play and fun. Of course, children lay out their treasures: toys, books and unexpected finds. But you can also come up with your own quirky activity and rent a market stall to bring it to life. Think of tin-can throwing, a mini performance, sack races, or another playful idea that fits in – or even around – a stall. For visitors, this means happily wandering past stalls, blankets and activities, where there is always something to discover.

Stichting NDSM-werf presents The Argonauts at NDSM, a new public artwork by British artist Ivan Morison: a group of three monumental sculptures that introduce strange embodied forms into the post-industrial landscape of NDSM.

From April 24, the NDSM Giants will be on display at NDSM. Three eight-metre-high concrete sculptures designed by Gabriel Lester (PolyLester) are rising on the site. The giant basketball players, caught in movement, show from varying perspectives an exciting game between stillness and dynamism, between figuration and abstraction.

The text work created for NDSM by artist Lily van der Stokker is a soft and critical counterbalance to the raw character of the former shipyard, dominated by male creators.

IN TUNE is about finding a new balance between human beings and their environment by appealing to our capacity for hearing and listening. Just as tuning a musical instrument requires extremely attentive listening and observation, we must continue to listen and, as humans, tune ourselves to our surroundings. In Tune is active from 12:00 to 17:00, with an interval of 5 minutes.

Until the end of this year, two car installations by artist Bart Eysink Smeets will be on display at NDSM. These playful works, parked throughout the shipyard, focus on the car as a symbol of how we interact with space, movement, and utility.
