A regular social event for young queer people is taking place in Hoofddorp, providing a consistent space for community and connection. The "Roze Café" (Pink Café) is held on the second Wednesday of every month at the Cpunt cultural center.
The event is designed as a relaxed, free-to-attend gathering for LGBTQ+ individuals and their allies between the ages of 12 and 23. According to the organizers, it's a place to "chill, meet new people, and make plans together."
