Into the Woods festival at NDSM ends early due to storm Boelo

The Into the Woods festival at the NDSM wharf in Amsterdam is closing early due to incoming storm Boelo. Organizers decided to end the event at 21:30 to ensure visitor safety, as high wind gusts pose risks for those inside tents.

The Into the Woods festival, currently taking place at the NDSM wharf in Amsterdam, is set to conclude ninety minutes earlier than originally scheduled. Organizers announced that the event will wrap up at 21:30 instead of 23:00 due to the arrival of storm Boelo. The decision was reached in collaboration with emergency services, as high wind gusts are expected to pose significant safety risks, particularly inside the festival tents where visitors would not be able to seek adequate shelter.

Following the warning from the KNMI, a code yellow weather alert has been issued for the region starting Saturday evening and lasting until early Monday morning. Officials are concerned about the impact of the storm, noting that trees still carrying full foliage are susceptible to broken branches or being uprooted entirely. While organizers expressed regret regarding the early closure, they emphasized that ensuring the safety of all festival-goers remains their absolute priority during the severe weather event.
