History of SAIL Amsterdam
The first edition of SAIL Amsterdam was organized in 1975, in honor of the 700th anniversary of Amsterdam. Since it was such a great success, it was decided to organize this magical event every five years.
Anniversary
This year, SAIL Amsterdam is celebrating its anniversary with the 10th edition of the event. A quick calculation will tell you that something is not quite right if the first edition was in 1975.
COVID-19 / pandemic
2020 was originally the anniversary year of SAIL, but the pandemic threw a spanner in the works. Due to the lockdown, the event was cancelled that year. That is why this festive occasion has been postponed to the year 2025.
Route
Traditionally, SAIL starts with the Sail-In Parade. A fleet of ships sails from IJmuiden over the North Sea Canal to the port of Amsterdam. These ships are accompanied by thousands of smaller boats along the way. A truly magical sight.
Amsterdam 750 years
In 2025, the city of Amsterdam will celebrate its 750th anniversary. Festivities will take place throughout the year and SAIL is the highlight. This event was also part of the party when Amsterdam turned 700 and this year they are celebrating together. The city of Amsterdam will be immersed in a festive atmosphere all year round.
