Dining workshop: The Biggest Picnic

On 19 September, Polder Parade will organise Almere's biggest potluck picnic during the Harvest Festival of Almeerse Weelde at Stadsboerderij. Together, we will celebrate the 15-year anniversary of Almeerse Weelde with the biggest potluck picnic in Almere. Long tables, full picnic blankets and dishes celebrating the harvest season. Bring a dish or contribute as a volunteer by making the biggest birthday cake you've ever seen.

About Eetatelier
Five decades, five eetateliers and endless stories about how Almere became what it is. From May to September 2026, Almeerse Weelde and Polder Parade will organise five neighbourhood dinners at special locations throughout Almere. Not a standard night out, but an evening about something. About good food, local crafts and people who make something of the city. During these evenings, everyone brings a freshly prepared meal and together we give shape to our travelling neighbourhood restaurant with a table that gets fuller, more surprising and tastier as more people join. All in honour of 50 years of Almere and 15 years of Almeerse Weelde.

From May 2026, every first Thursday of the month:

• At various locations throughout Almere
• Bring a homemade dish, drink or dessert
• Share, learn and be inspired by local residents
• Potlucks are there to share, joining costs you nothing.
