Nachtburgemeester Verkiezing 2026

In November, Amsterdam will elect a new Night Mayor. Almost four years after Freek Wallagh was appointed as the city’s representative of the night, it’s time for a new appointment. This election night takes the audience behind the scenes of the process leading up to the announcement of his successor. The grand finale? Dancing at Annie. Throughout the evening, the jury will introduce themselves, the finalists will enter the arena, votes will be cast and counted. Following the debate, once the city has had its say, the ceremonial chain of office will be handed over. During the afterparty at Annie, the honorary titles of Night Knight will also be awarded.
