No ice rink on Amsterdam's Museumplein this year due to permit issues

NL Times  

The annual ice rink on Amsterdam’s Museumplein won’t happen this year. “The ice rink has become a winter institution in the city of Amsterdam over the past years,” IceAmsterdam said. But after three years of talks, the municipality informed IceAmsterdam in September that it wouldn’t renew its permit, also leaving it no time to apply for a new one. “Everything had already been put into motion for the 2023 edition.” “This indecision has now resulted in the ice rink of IceAmsterdam, where we allowed 100,000 people to enjoy ice through sports and games for young and old, remaining in the fridge. We would have liked to see it differently and have done everything we could but, unfortunately, without results.” A spokesperson for the Zuid district, which covers the Museumplein, told Het Parool that it was investigating the possibility of allowing the ice rink again next year and in subsequent years.
