The commemoration of the abolition of slavery draws thousands of people to the city every year, spread across multiple locations. This year, we at ISG Security had the opportunity to be present at three locations: the official commemoration in Oosterpark, the festival on Museumplein, and Zuidoost Beseft in Amsterdam Zuidoost. Three locations, three atmospheres, one day you\u2019ll never forget.   <\/strong><\/p>\n<h4>Oosterpark: A Place for Quiet Remembrance<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The official commemoration in Oosterpark is, year after year, the heart of Keti Koti in Amsterdam. It is a place where people come together to reflect, remember, and connect\u2014not only in silence, but also through color, music, and stories passed down from generation to generation.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dressed appropriately, our ladies and gentlemen stood ready. Visibly present, but never intrusive. That\u2019s a conscious choice on a day like this. Visitors needed to be able to reflect in their own way on what Keti Koti means to them, whether that was in silence, through dance, or in conversation with someone next to them. Our job was to make that possible, working in the background, without our presence detracting from the atmosphere.    <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the day went on, Oosterpark filled with families, seniors, young people, and people from all corners of Amsterdam and far beyond. It was colorful, as always. Memorable stories, beautiful resolutions, traditions brought to life. A wonderful day.   <\/span><\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-84861 gallery-columns-5 gallery-size-full'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/isg-beveiliging.nl\/en\/isg-security-at-keti-koti-2026-three-locations-one-special-day\/isg-security-keti-koti-2026-5\/'><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/isg-beveiliging.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/ISG-Security-Keti-Koti-2026.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"ISG Security -

Here, the focus was on celebration: music, food, culture, and coming together. On Keti Koti, Museumplein attracts a broad and diverse crowd, which calls for an approach that fits the occasion.   <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our security guards moved through the grounds with that mix of vigilance and approachability that we\u2019re used to seeing at the city\u2019s major festivals. You\u2019re there for the visitors, not above them. That comes through in your attitude, your tone, and how you address someone when they need something. The festival went smoothly and without any notable incidents. Exactly as it should.    <\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Zuidoost Beseft: At Home in the Neighborhood<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Zuidoost Beseft Festival took place in Amsterdam Zuidoost, and anyone who\u2019s ever been there knows it has a unique energy all its own. Zuidoost has its own culture, its own community, and a festival like this is more than just an event. It\u2019s a statement from the neighborhood\u2014proud, visible, and full of life.     <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here, too, we had a team that understands what\u2019s going on\u2014not only from an operational standpoint, but also when it comes to connecting with visitors. As a company, we\u2019re used to working in Amsterdam Zuidoost, and it shows. The day went well, the atmosphere was warm, and collaboration on-site went smoothly.   <\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Three locations, one approach<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What makes Keti Koti special for us as a company is the combination of solemnity and joy that this day embodies. As a security guard, you deal with people who are mourning and people who are celebrating, sometimes in the same place and at the same time. That calls for security guards who are more than just enforcers\u2014who can read the situation and respond appropriately to what it demands.     <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s what we\u2019ve learned from our experience at events such as the Kwaku Festival, Reggae Lake, Amsterdam Museum Night, and the Liberation Festivals. Not just procedures and protocols, but also an understanding of people and a sense of context. <\/span><\/p>\n<h5><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On July 1, 2026, we were at three locations in Amsterdam. Three teams, three locations, one day that matters. <\/span><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Want to learn more about how ISG Security provides security for large-scale events?
