Amsterdam Gay Pride street parties
August 1, 2025-Amsterdam, The Netherlands: Street parties during Pride festival. Typically held during the first weekend of August, Amsterdam’s Pride celebration is known for its vibrant Canal Parade. Launched in 1996 to celebrate freedom and diversity rather than political protest, Pride Amsterdam now attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors. The event includes street parties in neighborhoods like Reguliersdwarsstraat and Amstel, as well as cultural programming such as the Queer Arts Festival and Drag Queen Karaoke. In 2015, the event rebranded from Amsterdam Gay Pride to Pride Amsterdam to reflect broader inclusivity. The Netherlands’ longstanding support for LGBTQIA+ rights — being the first country to legalize same-sex marriage — adds an affirming backdrop to the festivities. Some participants wear extreme black leather outfits, mask and studs usually seen in bondage settings. (Maro Kouri/Polaris) (FOTO:DUKAS/POLARIS)
