The City of Amsterdam has Opened a New Survey on Nightlife

Amsterdam is circulating a new survey to improve the city’s nightlife. The survey is being curated in partnership with Amsterdam-based research agency VibeLab, the city itself, and University of Pennsylvania's research arm, PennPraxis. Residents of Amsterdam and its neighboring city of Weesp can add their take to the survey through March 25.

Encouraging people to participate, VibeLab posted a video to Instagram with the following call to action: 

“Last year, over 64 grassroots nightlife projects across Amsterdam received over €957,000 in grants, supporting everything from club nights and concerts to artist residencies and experimental events. These grants aimed at young creatives and shaped a more diverse and inclusive night culture scene in the city. But how can we continue to protect this? The city needs to hear from you now. So, fill out the new survey because your voice matters.”

These efforts are supported by Amsterdam's Nightlife Culture Implementation Agenda, which was introduced to the city government in 2023.

“Your input is extremely valuable, because it shows what’s going well and what can be improved with regard to our night culture,” reads a description within the survey. “By June 2025, all results will be compiled in a final report, which will be officially handed over to the Municipality of Amsterdam. All insights from the report will subsequently be used to strengthen and improve Amsterdam’s night culture.”
