For the last few years, Pillow Fight Day has been held in numerous cities across the globe. It's all about reclaiming the public space as a playground for all to enjoy. A free event intended to inspire giddy, childish joy in everyone. This year will be bigger and better... plus there will be a wicked free after party within a stone’s throw from the pillow fight! So tell your friends, bring your own pillow and join the fun! You're of course free to bring more friends with you. Everyone can join... So invite your friends now!
WHAT: A massive pillow fight
WHERE: National Monument, Dam Square
WHEN: Saturday April 4th, starting 5pm
WHY: Fight for your right to have fun!

WIEVIEL: It's free for all!
The Rules of Pillow Fight: 1. Bring your own pillow. Use soft pillows only! Feathers are strongly encouraged.
2. Dress for the occasion. If you have glasses, remove them. Fragile clothes are not recommended in general! You may want to pick something playful to wear to the pillow fight.
3. Get there in time. Try and get there at 4.45pm so you don't miss any of the fun!
4. Wait for the Siren. It should sound when everyone has gathered at 5pm. After it goes off, run screaming "piiiilllllooooow fiiiight"!
5. Do not swing your pillow too hard. We play to have fun, not to hurt.
6. Do not hit anyone without a pillow. This includes, but is not limited to, people with cameras, bystanders, police and other civic authorities, property eg. cars. Please use common sense.
7. Clean up after you. Bring a garbage bag and some gloves and help clean up some of the fluff/feathers/pillows. The environment will love you forever.
8. Tell your friends about the pillow fight. Tell them to join in on the madness! And please brief them on the rules.
9. Come to the After Party! There is a free after party with cheap drinks and sleazy dj’s, starting right after the fight just around the corner from the Dam. It’s at LANX society, Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal 167. We have the place for the whole night, so wear your pyjama’s and bring your pillow!
