World Pride Amsterdam 2026

World Pride Amsterdam 2026 will be one for the record books! Imagine a beautiful city that already does PRIDE extremely well every year…and then add a massive amount of international visitors ready to celebrate in a country that was the first to legalize same-sex marriages 25 years ago. It’s going to be a crush in the best way possible, and we couldn’t be more excited to host!

As Europe’s King of Fetish Fashion, MR. Riegillio would like to extend a warm personal welcome to our home city for a show-stopping World Pride 2026. We can’t wait for you to experience our world class arts, diverse culture and warm hospitality. Get ready for a stellar party—and don’t forget to dress up!



Vibes
Amsterdam rolling out the rainbow welcome mat for World Pride 2026 will be exquisitely reminiscent of past years’ festivals, but with several hundred thousand extra guests and several more extra parties and activities. For two weeks the city will host a magnitude of street festivals, conferences, concerts and more. The canals, parks, streets and squares will come alive with festive celebrations and remembrances - and of course a spectacular, high-energy Amsterdam Gay Pride Canal Parade 2026—complete with floats, music, dancers and performances that is an absolute MUST to experience. Get your PRIDE Flags ready!

Accessibility
Inclusivity and accessibility are important values held by the Gay/World Pride community. Various accommodations and resources are available at events and during the festival to make the atmosphere accessible AND welcoming to as many members of the community as possible. Information about bright lights, loud music, wheelchair access and accessible toilets, among other accessibility accommodation, can be searched and filtered by event on the World Pride 2026 Accessibility page.

Logistics/Travel
Travelers are encouraged to take train/bus/tram transit during the festival and particularly the parade due to the influx of visitors and limited accessibility for driving/parking both cars and bicycles. Resources are available to plan your trips. Long festival days, walking, dancing and celebrating can be strenuous. Make a plan for transportation, hydration and be sure to use designated toilet facilities to avoid any problems or fines(140 euro) while in the Amsterdam area.
