Between music, dancing, and a whole host of other lively activities, these Pride celebrations are some of the best in the Netherlands! 🌈✨
Whilst the rain and clouds (and a few wet blankets! 😉) might do their damnedest to put a damper on things, NU.nl reports that these cities will still be flying the rainbow flag high over the next few weeks.
Here’s what you can do for Pride and where. 👇
Amsterdam Pride
Mark your agendas, because Pride Amsterdam is back!
Kicking off with a Pride March to the Vondelpark, the park’s Open Air Theatre serves as the perfect stage to celebrate freedom and authenticity.
You also won’t want to miss the world-famous boat parade on August 3 or the massive closing party from 2 PM to 11 PM on August 4.
📅 When: Saturday, July 27 to Sunday, August 4
Zwolle
The festivities will come to Overijssel this August, at Zwolle Pride: an event full of music, the Zwolle Pride parade, and drag.
Even better? Miss Envy Peru, winner of Drag Race Holland’s first-ever season, will also be in attendance! 🥳
📅 When: Friday, August 23 to Sunday, August 25
Leiden
With a colourful boat parade through the historic city centre and an after-party that lets you dance the night away, Pride Leiden is a fabulous celebration of love and tolerance.
📅 When: Saturday, September 7 from 2:30 PM to 11 PM
Let op: While the festival “officially” ends at 11 PM, the dancing picks back up at event venue De Nobel and lasts till the wee hours of the morning! 💃🏻
Almere
In contrast to the other entries on this list, Almere organises a yearly Winter Pride. ❄
Between exhibitions, films, and a pride walk through the city centre, this is one event you won’t want to miss if you live in or near Almere!
📅 When: Friday, October 11 to Sunday, October 13
