The Event

The Heart of Pride.

For three days, Dam Square sets the stage for MainStage Pride. In the historic heart of Amsterdam, music, performance, culture and community come together at one of Europe's largest Pride events.

International artists, renowned DJs and drag performers share the stage with an audience from every corner of the world. From the first beats in the afternoon to the last dance at night, Dam Square stands entirely for freedom, inclusivity and connection.

MainStage Pride is more than an event. It's a celebration of everything Pride Amsterdam stands for, right in the centre of the city.
