1-Hour Reading Rave | FREE XL Stunt 📚 | Oosterdokskade 🌊

Let's flood Oosterdokskade's pier with hundreds of readers for our second ever 1-Hour Reading Rave - a free event to swap screen time for a calm hour of social reading. See it as a workout for your mind, without the sweaty part 😉.

Imagine this: 500 people reading together on the waterfront, without a phone in sight. On June 27th, we're challenging Amsterdam to take a break from scrolling and get together for an offline reading rave overlooking Amsterdam's historic city center.
Last year, we got together with 300+ readers in Erasmuspark. They read silently*in the sun to live guitar tunes, and connected with each other afterwards. It was a-ma-zing.*Please note we'll read in public and so, there might be sounds, voices, wind and more.
What to expect:
⏰ 1 hour of laid-back (silent but social) reading, with hundreds of others
📵 Phones off and tucked away for the entire hangout (no-phone policy).
💬 Stay longer to meet and connect with fellow readers. We'll supply book-themed conversation starters.
Where & when:
📍 Wandelsteiger Oosterdokskade (Next to Sea Palace Restaurant, Oosterdokskade 8).
🗓 Saturday, June 27th, from 11:00-12:00. Please arrive at least 15 minutes early, as communal (silent) reading starts promptly at 11:00.
🎟 RSVP to claim your free ticket

*In case of rain or bad weather, we'll have to either cancel or move the gathering to another date.

What to bring:
📖 A book, poetry bundle, comic, or anything to read .
🫔 Your own pillow, blanket, fold-out chair, or anything else cozy to get comfy on.
🧺 Your own drinks, snacks, and sun screen!
👯 Invite friends, book worms, ravers, or your entire book club... Basically, people who'd kill you if they'd miss this

We can’t wait to swap screen time for real time with you.
Love, The Offline Club
