WorldPride Amsterdam 2026

Amsterdam is making history by hosting WorldPride Amsterdam for the first time. WorldPride is a major celebration and event for people from the LGBTQIA+ community. Its goal is to raise awareness of equal rights and visibility worldwide. The WorldPride name is owned by the organization InterPride. Pride Amsterdam has been a member of InterPride since 2011, which is why the capital is authorized to host the event.

The world-famous Canal Parade on the canals of Amsterdam is one of the most memorable highlights of WorldPride Amsterdam. Spectators can watch about 80 boats representing everything from small LGBTQI+foundations to pink organisations within national multinational networks. They all cruise the city canals in elaborately decorated boats and dinghies, all of which carry the 2026 theme and to celebrate the past, present and future of the LGBTI community - and to show that it doesn't matter who or what you are.
