WorldPride March
The WorldPride March is much more than a parade. It is a powerful demonstration of visibility, solidarity and resistance. Together we show that everyone has the right to be themselves, to love who they choose and to live freely, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression.
Description
The WorldPride March is much more than a parade. It is a powerful demonstration of visibility, solidarity and resistance. Together we show that everyone has the right to be themselves, to love who they choose, and to live freely regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression. We do not only march for ourselves, but also for the millions of LGBTQIA+ people worldwide who cannot do this safely. To make their struggle visible, flags of countries where homosexuality is still criminalised are carried during the march. For this we follow the most up-to-date data from ILGA World and we work together with 76 Crimes, which monitors laws affecting LGBTQIA+ people around the world.
Location & times
Participants gather from 15:00 at President Kennedylaan. The WorldPride March sets off at 16:30 and ends at the Museumplein, where the WorldPride Closing Concert then takes place at 17:30. Route: President Kennedylaan → Rijnstraat → From Woustraat → Ceintuurbaan → Roelof Hartstraat → From Baerlestraat → Museumplein
National Pride Walk & WorldPride March
During the opening weekend, on Saturday 25 July, the annual National Pride Walk takes place. This route runs from the Dam to Vondelpark, where Pride Park is held. Because during WorldPride thousands of international guests, activists and Pride organisations from around the world are in Amsterdam, we also organise the WorldPride March during the closing weekend. This international march will be bigger than ever and welcomes delegations, civil society groups and vehicles with music, campaigns and powerful messages for equality and human rights.
