There's a huge event in Amsterdam this week called "Sail 2005" which only happens every five years. The harbor is filled with all these tall-mast sailing ships from all around the world, and there are tons of free concerts down by the waterfront and fireworks every night. Something like 2.5 million visitors are expected for the event.
