Balloon drops, live musicians and dance anthems for all generations during Amsterdam Dance Event
While Amsterdam Dance Event brings together dance music fans from around the globe, Family Rave Day is proving that electronic music truly has no age limit. On Wednesday, October 21, from 14:00 to 17:00, the internationally inspired concept lands at Fabrique des Lumières, transforming the iconic venue into a vibrant dancefloor for parents, children and grandparents alike.
Set amongst the monumental digital artworks and immersive projections of the Netherlands' largest digital art centre, Family Rave Day combines the excitement of a festival with a welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere. The result is a unique experience where generations come together through music, movement and shared memories.
NOT A KIDS PARTY. A REAL RAVE FOR FAMILIES.
Throughout the afternoon, visitors can enjoy:
- Live DJs playing dance classics and today's biggest EDM hits
- Live performances
- Surprise appearances from favourite children's characters
- Spectacular balloon drops and festival-style smoke effects
- Interactive entertainers and dance performances
- Candy bar
- Bubble effects, glow experiences and immersive visuals
One moment children are dancing alongside their favourite characters, the next parents are singing along to the dance anthems that defined their youth.
"Imagine a dancefloor where family favourites meet dance classics, balloon drops replace fireworks and live musicians perform alongside DJs beneath the immersive visuals of Fabrique des Lumières. That's Family Rave Day at ADE."
THE FUTURE OF DANCE CULTURE
As the first generation of ravers raises a new generation of music lovers, Family Rave Day offers a fresh perspective on electronic music culture. The concept creates an environment where families can experience the energy, creativity and sense of community that have always been at the heart of dance music.
DESIGNED WITH FAMILIES IN MIND
While Family Rave Day delivers the atmosphere of a real festival experience, the event is carefully adapted for younger audiences. Sound levels are adjusted with children in mind, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable experience for all ages. Families are welcome to bring hearing protection, and young visitors are encouraged to wear ear defenders if preferred.

Festival FAQ
ADE Festival tickets are sold individually by the festival event organizers, but you’ll also be able to purchase them through the ticket links on the event pages on our website here.
Not to worry! Make sure to contact the event (or their ticketing provider) you are visiting as soon as possible with as many details about your order; name, email address, amount of tickets, etc. Once they've recovered your order, the tickets can be resent to your email.
Need help to find your event's contact details? Message us at [email protected] and we'll be happy to help.
Most festival events have an age limit of 18+ (and sometimes even 21+ or 23+). These are Dutch governmental rules which state that below the age of 18 you are not allowed to enter a club.
Please double-check the promoter's or venue's website to be sure you can access the event!
Yes, the ADE Pro Pass grants you access to all ADE official festival events.
Be aware though that there are over 1,200 events during ADE that you can enter with the Pro Pass wristband and that ADE cannot guarantee access. There is a limited capacity that each venue can take into account for Pro Pass holders. This means for some of the more crowded events you have to arrive early. Once capacity is reached, we will go over in a full-for-now policy. The festival event organizer will decide when and if more people are allowed to go in.
The ADE Pro Pass is the perfect fit if you are planning on enjoying the combination of day and night events. If you want guaranteed access to a particular festival event, we advise you to get a single festival ticket instead.
We dance together, so please be mindful of yourself and each other. We expect an open attitude from our visitors towards other guests, regardless of their origin, gender, sexual orientation, religion and age. If you see or experience any unwanted attention, harassment or behavior of any kind that makes you uncomfortable, please speak out and notify staff.
Please keep in mind: we love being your annual host, therefore, we would like to ask you to enjoy yourself responsibly.
ADE is proud partner of the Celebrate Safe campaign.
