Pride Programmes

Ballroom PrideBallroom was never just about being seen. It was about surviving in a world that refused to see us. Ballroom Pride celebrates ballroom culture as an essential part of queer history and contemporary community building. Originating within Black and Latino queer and trans communities in the United States, ballroom was never only about performance or spectacle. It began as […]View

Senior PrideThe life wisdom and experience of pink seniors form an essential pillar within the LGBTQIA+ community and society as a whole The origin of Senior Pride From 2006 various Pride initiatives for LGBTQIA+ seniors emerged. Mokum Roze, a pink network of Amsterdam organisations for care, welfare and housing, was started at the initiative of COC Amsterdam and […]View

Sport PrideUnity in Sport! What we stand for Sport Pride advocates for a sporting world where everyone can be themselves. Sport is for and belongs to everyone, but that is still not self-evident everywhere. For many LGBTQIA+ athletes, sport does not automatically feel like a socially safe or open environment. Assumptions, exclusion and a lack of visibility have […]View

Student PrideStudents unite, let’s party all night! StudentPride is the committee for LGBTIQ+ students in Amsterdam and beyond. Since 2020 we organise various student parties, deliver engaging talks on LGBTQIA+ culture, and compete to build the tallest tower of beer crates. This year we’ll again be in Pride Park […]View

Trans PrideTrans Pride exists because trans people have always been here — and because our safety, dignity and rights are still not a given. The history of Trans Pride within Pride Amsterdam Long before Trans Pride, Pride or visible public presence, trans women travelled to the Netherlands for gender-affirming surgery — often in secret, […]View

Women and PrideWe no longer ask for space, we claim it. Women first! The history of Women & Pride Women & Pride exists because women have always been present within the lhbtiqa+ community: as activists, allies, leaders and carers. Because the ‘L’ at the start of the acronym is intentionally at the front: in recognition of support […]View

Youth PrideThe Power of Youth: The Role of the Youth Pride Committee during Pride Amsterdam In vibrant, colourful Amsterdam, during the annual Pride celebrations, a special group plays a central role in the event’s success: the Youth Pride Committee.

Through art and culture the programme connects creators, cultural institutions and […]View

Bi Plus PrideBi+Pride is the newest addition to Pride Amsterdam this summer. The committee is for those who are attracted to more than one gender and identify as bi+: for those who call themselves bi, queer, pan, fluid or omnisexual, and for those who prefer not to label themselves. However they identify (or don’t), […]View

Corporate PrideA powerful signal The involvement of companies actively committed to an inclusive and diverse society is invaluable. And this goes beyond their internal HR policies. By actively participating in and supporting activities of the LGBTQIA+ community, such as Amsterdam Pride, companies send a powerful message: everyone […]View

Fetish PrideIn a world that asks us to act ‘normal,’ our visibility is our most powerful protest. Fetish Pride stands for the unconditional freedom to express your deepest self without compromising to societal norms. The programme is for anyone who recognises themselves in the worlds of BDSM, leather, latex, uniforms, pup [...]View

Intersex PrideLove Every Body: Making Intersex Visible Strengthens Pride The Intersex Pride video will appear here soon. We are proud to announce the launch of the Intersex Pride Committee. A long-awaited step—and not just a valuable addition to Pride Amsterdam, but a necessary move toward real LGBTIQ+ inclusivity. Intersex is a natural variation in the human body. It means that someone […]View

Junior PrideWhere it all began Junior Pride started in 2021, when teacher Elise Lodder came out to her class. The responses on social media were overwhelming: much support, but also negative reactions. That moment made one thing clear to Elise: she wanted to do more for the community. At the same time Marco Altena, chair of Youth […]View

Religious PrideReligious Pride video coming soon Since the beginning of Pride, activities with a religious or philosophical character have been organised. Over the years these initiatives have increasingly been brought together within a shared structure under the Pride umbrella. From that development Religious Pride emerged.
