Canal Parade

About this event

The Amsterdam Canal Parade is a world-famous boat parade sailing through Amsterdam's canals on Saturday, August 1, 2026, from 12:00 to 18:00. The event features boats decorated to celebrate Pride, with routes passing through Oosterdok, Nieuwe Herengracht, Amstel, Prinsengracht, and Westerdok. Visitors can enjoy the parade from the quay, which will be made car-free to accommodate the crowds. Participants include various organizations, and visitors are encouraged to purchase Pride Vignettes for boat access. The event promotes inclusivity, with facilities for visitors with disabilities, and emphasizes environmental responsibility by reducing noise and encouraging waste disposal. Food and drinks are available along the route, and photography and videography will be used for promotional purposes.
