On 4, 5 and 6 September, the focus of the port of Rotterdam will be on the 38th edition of the World Port Days.

A three-day festival on and around the quays and in the city, centred around this year's theme: Port of Dreams. The programme is packed every day and evening with performances, activities, tours and much more.

Show Programme

Every year, the World Port Days starts on Friday. On Saturday, there is a special performance on the water. A spectacle is staged in cooperation with various companies from within and outside the port. Beautiful ships, music, a light show, laser, dancers, acrobats, singers and fireworks steal the show that night.

On the Water

Both on the Maas river and in the Rijnhaven nautical demonstrations will be given every day between 10:00 and 18:00 hours. Various businesses will demonstrate their day-to-day activities, which normally only take place in the port area, in a spectacular way in the centre of Rotterdam. Only during the World Port Days' weekend will visitors get the opportunity to see them in action from that close.
