The smell of grass after a hot day, the twittering of birds at dusk, and then suddenly: music. On Summer Nights, ARTIS transforms into a park like you've never seen before. No rush, no map. Just go. Wandering among the enclosures, a pizza in one hand, a spritz in the other, heading for the Music Tent where the first chords sound.<\/em><\/p>\n

Every Saturday there is something different on the program. From jazzy singer-songwriters to sultry world music - always live, always in the middle of the greenery. Artists like Laura Sjin, M\u00e9raque and Philine turn the zoo into an intimate outdoor stage, with flamingos as accidental extras.<\/p>\n

But there's more. Every hour an activity starts somewhere in the park: a tour of monumental buildings, a workshop for children, or a walk along the edible garden.

Zomeravonden in ARTIS zijn van een ander soort magie. Terwijl de stad langzaam afkoelt, komt de oudste dierentuin van Nederland tot leven met muziek, verhalen en onverwachte ontmoetingen. Vanaf 5 juli, elke zaterdag tot eind augustus, kun je dwalen langs olifanten, eten onder de sterren en luisteren naar artiesten die het park vullen met klank en kleur.<\/p>","rubriek":"Evenement","locatie_event":57279,"naam_locatie":"ARTIS","adres":"Plantage Kerklaan 38-40","stad":"Amsterdam","website":"https:\/\/www.artis.nl\/nl\/","telefoon_nummer":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71062","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=71062"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71062\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":86051,"href":"https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71062\/revisions\/86051"}],"acf:post":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57279"}],"acf:attachment":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/71075"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/71076"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=71062"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=71062"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=71062"},{"taxonomy":"district","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/district?post=71062"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
