More info & tickets

Pre-Pride at Sint Jorisplein

The celebration kicks off at Sint Jorisplein. It's the perfect place to meet and connect with various community organizations. DJ Ron Soeters will provide the musical atmosphere to get you in the mood for a festive evening. This year, there will also be catering available, so invite your colleagues, friends, or neighbors and enjoy a cozy Friday afternoon. Around 17:45, drag icon Ashley Knight will warm you up for the Pride Walk.

Opening of Lutheran Church de Zwaan

City pastor Marleen Kool welcomes you to the Lutheran church at Langestraat 61. You are welcome for a chat or to light a candle in solidarity and connection with all residents of Amersfoort. There will be a short service at 17:00.

Pride-Walk

The Pride Walk starts from Sint Jorisplein. Accompanied by DJ Ron Soeters, a meters-long rainbow flag will move through the city center of Amersfoort, and you are welcome to join. 'Out, proud and loud' is the motto. This is the moment we show together that Amersfoort is a city where everyone can be themselves. Everyone is cordially invited to walk along and make themselves heard – literally and figuratively.

Open-air piano bar at the Groenmarkt

Want to experience Amersfoort Pride in a quieter setting? Come to the Groenmarkt. Due to last year's success, this square will once again be set up as a charming piano bar. On the terrace, you can listen to a singer-songwriter, from recognizable classics to original songs – a perfect place to take a break from the crowds while still being fully immersed in the colorful atmosphere.

Mainstage at De Hof

Our mainstage is once again at De Hof, the heart of Amersfoort. A range of artists will perform here until midnight. The familiar faces of Amersfoort Pride will be there again this year. The divas Amy & Victoria will shine on stage with the dancers from TOTHEMAXX. The evening will be opened by the well-known DJ Skipper. Remy de Gans will be your cordial host for the evening, closing the night with his musical DJ colleagues from Viva la Dance. Experience the magic of the Eurovision Song Contest with Laura Vlasblom and Brigitte Nijman as Back to Waterloo. Vocalist and performer Ritchie Lahnstein makes his debut at the Pride in Amersfoort. And with great pleasure, The SoulSisters take the stage, known for their infectious energy, vocal power, and a great repertoire full of soul, disco, and pop classics.

033 Skate Rainbow Edition!

During Amersfoort Pride, 033 Skate will happily roll along with a special rainbow edition. To the rhythm of a great beat from a live DJ, you can enjoy scootering, longboarding, or skating on the Amersfoort asphalt under the guidance of traffic controllers. Put on your most colorful outfit and roll along in this swinging edition of 033 skate! Show yourself, be heard, and celebrate Pride on wheels! Departure is from Eetcafé Draeckje.

Afterparty in Fluor

PINKNOISE is organizing the one and only afterparty of Amersfoort Pride in FLUOR this year. If you still have energy and feel like more partying, then FLUOR is the place to be. Here you can continue to enjoy everything that makes Pride so special until closing time: music, dance, freedom, and fun. Everyone is welcome: queer, ally, or something else. During the afterparty, DJs will play the best queer-pop, alt-pop, and indie-pop, supplemented with surprising classics and danceable hits. Tickets can be ordered via: PINKNOISE - FLUOR (minimum age is 18).
