Join us for an exclusive shopping and community night at ABC Amsterdam: an after-hours gathering of book lovers, holiday cheer, and a sneak peek at the 2025 program.What to expect:
- Private shopping hours with ABC booksellers on hand to help you find the perfect gifts
- Enjoy your 10 percent John Adams / ABC discount on all purchases, plus free holiday gift wrapping
- Festive drinks, music, and good company in the heart of Amsterdam
- Exclusive first look at the John Adams 2026 speaker lineup: announcement at 7:30 PM
Together, we’ll toast to a remarkable 2025—featuring voices like Timothy Snyder, Tim Walz, Nikole Hannah-Jones, Nate Silver, and Russell Shorto—and look ahead to an inspiring year marking 250 years of American independence through conversation, culture, and ideas.
