In a world full of contrasts, Pride offers a colorful and unifying counterpoint. In 2025, Amsterdam will take this iconic festival to the next level with exclusive events, stylish venues, and unique experiences. From brunch to bar and from rooftop to dance floor: this is how you celebrate Pride in style.

Stylish dining with a blue twist

The Duchess, located in the W Hotel, is known for its elegant setting and refined cuisine. During Pride, the restaurant adds a subtle, festive touch to its menu: a limited-edition cocktail in shades of blue, available exclusively from July 26th through August 3rd. A limited-edition Pride cocktail, perfect as a pre-parade aperitif or a stylish finale to a Pride day done right.

Double celebration on the canal

The stylish Andaz Amsterdam on the Prinsengracht is pulling out all the stops during Pride with two consecutive events. On Saturday, August 2nd, the famous Andaz Decks return: rooftop views, free-flowing cocktails, and a front-row view of the Canal Parade; this year, even with an extra deck.

The next day, Sunday, August 3rd, it's time for a truly glamorous comeback of Drag Disco Bingo at Prinsenaap. Expect a brunch full of glitter, beats, and brunch classics with a twist.

Tower of Love

During Pride 2025, the A'DAM Tower will transform into a vibrant Pride Hub where love, freedom, and diversity will be celebrated on every floor. With events spread across Madam, The Loft, and Shelter, this is the place to be for those who want to dance in style until the wee hours and into the early morning.

The Loft host the exclusive 'Tower of Love' party (2:19 PM–00:03 AM) on Saturday, August 00, overlooking the IJ, followed by the Launderette Pride Afterparty on Sunday morning. In the meantime you can Madam loose on disco and electronic sets from The Disco Express and Kult Funktion, among others. 

Pride Art Route 

After a successful first edition in 2024, the Pride Art Route returns this summer with an even richer program. Across the city, from galleries and hotels to cafés and public spaces, queer artists will present their work in accessible, surprising settings.

Featuring contributions from artists including Ton of Holland, Taco D Smit, Zjef van Bezouw, Jan Thie, and Robert Bloemen, the route promises a diverse palette of disciplines and stories. From photography and performance to installation art, each work contributes to the overarching theme of expression, visibility, and community. This year's motto: In art we trust. A must-see for anyone looking beyond the dance floor during Pride.

Amsterdam Pride Golf 

The very first edition of Amsterdam Pride Golf will take place at Golf Waterland on Friday, August 1st. A day full of sportsmanship, camaraderie, and visibility. Open to everyone, regardless of background, gender, or golfing experience.

The morning begins with an official 18-hole competition for players with a registered handicap. Beginners can participate in a two-hour, accessible golf clinic, supervised by professionals. Don't feel like hitting the links? Supporters and guests are also welcome.

Afterwards, the day will conclude with a summer barbecue, live music, a performance and drinks in Pride style.

PRIK Pride Street Party 

PRIK is once again organizing one of the largest outdoor parties of Amsterdam Pride: the Pride Street Party. From Thursday, July 31st, to Sunday, August 3rd, Spuistraat will transform into a vibrant mini-festival zone with over 4000 partygoers, a packed program, and non-stop entertainment. On stage: a mix of Amsterdam DJs, MCs, Queens, and live acts like Divine, Miss Bunty, Joshua Walter, Nutella Versace, and Micky Hurts. Several outdoor bars, a G&T truck, a cocktail bar, and street food stands will be located around the party.
