This festival is mainly celebrated by the LHBTQI community from the last Saturday in July until the first Sunday in August and consists of several components. The most famous part is the Canal Parade, in which a procession of 80 boats cruise through the waters of Amsterdam for 2 hours, which is visited by hundreds of thousands of colourfully dressed visitors. Other parts of the Pride are: Identity Walk, Pride Park, Open Atmosphere Cinema, Senior Pride Concert, All Colours East, Love Swim, road parties and a closing party.

The Route

The parade kicks off around PM at the Scheepvaartmuseum (Maritime Museum), in the eastern part of the city centre. From there, the boats will sail along the Amstel River, continuing onto the Prinsengracht, and concluding near the Westerdok.

Please note: First boats reach the start of the Prinsengracht approximately after the official start.
