WHERE: Amsterdam, Netherlands
WHEN: from 27th July to 04th August 2024
In July and August, Amsterdam is tinged with rainbow. Love, respect, equality, tolerance. The Dutch capital opens its doors to the 28 July, with one of the most anticipated and evocative gay-friendly events. However, considering the recent vicissitudes, with the cancellation due to the pandemic, the conditional is a must!
Vienna. Madrid. Berlin…. To each city, its parade. Amsterdam Gay Pride, however, has a truly unique charm, thanks to the Canal Parade. And, precisely in this, it is its uniqueness. Fantastic boats that cross the placid waters of the Amstel. Unique scenographies. And that bit of madness and eccentricity, which only a Gay Pride can give away.
An event that celebrates, in over 7 days of events, love, friendship, tolerance, respect. Values that do not belong to the chosen few, but to all of us. Not just LGTB.
This is the spirit of Amsterdam Gay Pride. An event of international appeal, in which freedom is the watchword.
