WorldPride 2026 officially began in Amsterdam this afternoon with the Pride Walk, a protest march that saw thousands of participants from the LGBTQIA+ community and their allies take to the city's streets. The event marks the start of a two-week-long series of celebrations, talks, and cultural events.
Participants began gathering at Dam Square around 11:00, where a series of speeches set a determined and reflective tone for the day. An hour later, the procession began its journey through the heart of the city, demonstrating for visibility and equal rights.
The full live broadcast of the Pride Walk can be viewed on the AT5 website.
