Pride at the Beach is the only annual Pride festival in the Netherlands held on the beach in Zandvoort. The multi-day event features a diverse program of culture, parties, and a parade, joining World Pride Amsterdam in 2026.
Pride at the Beach
Pride at the Beach is an annual event in Zandvoort and the only Pride in the Netherlands with the beach as its unique location. This beach atmosphere is woven throughout the entire program.
We reflect on the challenges of the rainbow community in Zandvoort, the Netherlands, and beyond. We emphasize that everyone should be able to be themselves and love whomever they choose. We do this by organizing a diverse range of activities, from culture and education to sports and entertainment. Pride is not just a party; content forms the foundation of this event.
In 2026, Pride at the Beach joins World Pride Amsterdam, and we hope to welcome even more (inter)national visitors.
Theme 2026: UNITY
The theme for 2026 is UNITY, in line with World Pride Amsterdam.
Program Highlights
The festival features a vibrant program including:
- UNITY – World Pride Expo
- Culture Night
- Women at the Beach Party
- Pre-Party & Parade
