Locatie
Tijden
On 27 April 2026, the wharf will once again turn orange during the 14th 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.
