The party in Amsterdam lasts several days and consists of all kinds of parties, events and the boat parade ‘Canal Parade’. Gay Pride is an annual celebration where the rights of gay, lesbian and transgender communities is celebrated, and everyone is proud of themselves and also dares to express that.
The festival attracts several hundreds of thousands of visitors and is one of the largest publicly held annual events in the Netherlands. Pride Amsterdam or Amsterdam Gay Pride is a citywide gay festival annually held at the city centre of Amsterdam during the first weekend of August.
If they’re all dressed in Orange, then it’s King’s Day but if a majority is dressed in Pink, then it’s definitely Gay Pride Amsterdam. There comes that time of the year when Amsterdam ‘s canals get super busy and a lot of boats are filled with scantily clad individuals drinking, dancing and celebrating.
