    Every year in August, the Canal Parade Amsterdam Pride is held on the Canals of Amsterdam. This colourful pride will be held for the 29th time in 2025 and was formerly known as the Gay Parade.

    About the Amsterdam Canal Parade

    The world-famous Canal Parade through the canals of Amsterdam is one of the highlights of Pride Amsterdam. The parade consists of around eighty boats representing everything from small LGBTQI+ foundations to pink networks within multinational companies. They all sail through the municipality canals to celebrate the past, present and future of the LGBTQI+ community in lavishly decorated boats and sloops. And to show that it doesn’t matter who or what you are.

    Price Canal Parade ticket

    The Canal March can be watched free of charge from the canals. If you want to come to the Canal Parade by boat to spend some time with your family or friends, you can do so with a boat

    Times shown on the map are just an indication. Some years everything goes to plan, some other years there are "traffic delays" because of broken boats on the canals.

    Best Viewing Spots

    The march route stretches several kilometers, offering many fantastic spots to watch the spectacle. However, it gets extremely busy—especially on bridges and quays—so plan to come early.

    Popular viewing locations:

    • Magere Brug (Skinny Bridge): a scenic early point on the route. Boats arrive here soon after the start.
    • Along the entire Prinsengracht: excellent views and occasional shady spots.
    • Eenhoornsluis: at the complete of the route, offering excellent photo opportunities.

    Bridges pack up hours before the parade begins, so be early i
