Amsterdam Pride

Amsterdam Pride or Amsterdam Gay Pride is a citywide gay-festival held annually at the center of Amsterdam during the first weekend of August. The festival attracts several hundred-thousand visitors each year and is one of the largest publicly held annual events in the Netherlands.

The peak of the festival is during the Canal Parade, a parade of boats of large variety on the first Saturday of August, which usually goes from Oosterdok, Zwanenburgwal and the Oudeschans, Amstel, over the Prinsengracht to Westerdok (clockwise since 2017).

Every year hundreds of thousands of visitors come to this event and is therefore one of the busiest public events in the Netherlands. In the United States, the Amsterdam Gay Pride was voted the best Gay Pride celebration in Europe in 2008 and in 2018 the Amsterdam Pride was voted Best Public Event in the Netherlands.
