Gay Pride

Celebrating diversity in Amsterdam

Amsterdam has long been respected for its inclusion of all walks of life, and their open attitude comes through clearly when the city devotes a weekend in August to loudly and proudly celebrating its gay community. On Gay Pride weekend, Amsterdam comes alive with bright colors, loud parties and a general atmosphere of free love.

What to expect

Gay Pride weekend is one long, wild party! The shirts come off and hard-bodied men and luscious women embrace their sexual orientation. Whatever turns you on, you’ll find it here. From leather and hair to muscles and cross-gender curiosity, Gay Pride has it all!

The Canal Parade is the highlight of Gay Pride week. One hundred boats adorned with decorations and fine specimens of the human form, cruise along the Prinsengracht and Amstel canals to Oosterdok. The mood is one of pure celebration as each float tries to out-do the one before it.

Gay Pride weekend is packed with events and themed parties. Circuit parties will take you to a variety of hot spots around the city, while street parties are larger get-togethers that attract the partiers to them with their “anything goes” attitude! Each party is attended by different groups of the gay community, but all are welcome to join in the fun.

Where to go

If you’re looking to drink and have fun, check out the bars along Reguliersdwarsstraat, the city’s gay district. In the summer, the street is closed to vehicles, and people party long into the night. April is one of the largest gay bars in Amsterdam and boasts a revolving bar at the back of the building.

In Amsterdam’s anything-goes celebration, the gay saunas are a hot place to be. Visit the Thermos Day Sauna and Thermos Night Sauna for some steamy action. No matter what you’re looking for, you’ll find it at the cruise bars and sex bars during Gay Pride weekend. Fetishes of all kinds are catered to – what’s your imagination hungry for? Some events have dress codes – which can be nothing at all – so check ahead. Gay Pride weekend is a wild ride; come with an open mind!

Gay Pride weekend is a fabulous party that draws visitors from around the globe. If you can dream it, it can happen during Pride Weekend. Have fun and play safe!
