The market is designed as a dynamic meeting place where visibility, exchange, and connection are the main goals. According to the organisers, the emphasis is on community engagement and sharing information, rather than on commercial sales. It aims to provide a space that highlights the diverse voices, stories, and projects that form the LGBTQ+ community in The Hague and beyond.
Who is the Market For?
Participation is encouraged from a wide spectrum of the community. The organisers have specified that the market is open to:
- Queer and queer-supportive organisations
- Community initiatives and collectives
- Artists, designers, and other makers
- Advocacy, social, and support groups
- Small projects looking to connect with a wider audience
A Focus on Connection
In its call for participants, Pride The Hague stresses that the event is about more than just having a stall. It's an opportunity to engage in direct conversations with visitors, network with other organisations, and build potential collaborations. Participants are expected to align with the core values of Pride The Hague, including inclusion, respect, and care, to ensure a welcoming and safe atmosphere for everyone involved.
The market is intended to be an accessible and inclusive space that reflects the creativity and strength of the local queer community.
