Amsterdam's Canal Parade — Pride on the water — and a week of street parties in the city centre.
Pride Amsterdam is built around the Canal Parade: decorated boats moving through the Prinsengracht on the first Saturday of August, with the banks packed several deep. The surrounding week has street parties on Reguliersdwarsstraat and Amstel and a full programme of club nights.
Milkshake Festival usually sits in the same season and is worth planning alongside.
