What to expect in the city
Pride Amsterdam is one of the world’s most vibrant LGBTQ+ celebrations, transforming the city each summer into a hub of visibility, culture and activism. What began as a local celebration has evolved into a global event featuring marches, street parties, cultural programming, and the world‑famous Canal Parade, where decorated boats sail through Amsterdam’s historic waterways in a colourful display of freedom and diversity. The city is hosting WorldPride, expanding Pride into two weeks of art, performance, human‑rights programming, and community events across Amsterdam, highlighting its long history of LGBTQ+ inclusivity and its role as a global symbol of equality
