Visit the Pink Point on Westermarkt to collect a map of the 5-kilometre route and a special pride pin. And, this year the City of Amsterdam has adopted the more inclusive Progress Pride Flag, including the arrow-shaped addition of black and brown stripes and the transgender flag colours.Ģ5 July– Sunday 2 Aug // Raise your rainbow flagĭo you know your pansexual flag from your non-binary flag? As an alterative to the Pride Walk (cancelled due to coronavirus measures), the Find All Flags tour is a fun way to educate yourself on the various flags used by groups within the LGBTI community. The Westertoren will continue its tradition of flying a 25-metre rainbow flag from its tower. The flags will create a visual reminder that the spirit of pride is alive and well in the Dutch capital. While the streets of Amsterdam won’t see our best rainbow outfits, slogan tees and glitter this year, Amsterdam Pride are encouraging residents to fly a rainbow flag from their window in an act of solidarity. Here’s how to show your love for all kinds of love at a 1.5-metre distance. But it’s going to take more than a pandemic to dampen the pride of the most liberal city in the world. With no rainbow-painted crowds, confetti canons, Milkshake Festival, Drag Olympics, Pride Walk or sold-out afterparties, it does feel like the most colourful celebration on the calendar is cancelled. Like most things this year, Amsterdam Pride isn’t what we’re used to.
