World Pride | 25 July – 8 August

For the first time ever, Amsterdam will host WorldPride.

WorldPride Amsterdam will take place from 25 July to 8 August 2026

“WorldPride is a global event that promotes visibility and awareness of LGBTQIA+ issues internationally. Amsterdam, with more than 180 nationalities, is the most diverse city in the world. Our strong and vibrant LGBTQIA+ community gives the city a unique atmosphere of freedom, creativity and tolerance. In 2001, the very first same-sex marriage took place here. In 2026, we will celebrate 25 years of marriage equality being possible – a milestone still not taken for granted worldwide.”
