Whereas most cities hold their Pride parades down city streets, Amsterdam takes to its famous canals, where colorful float boats casually make their way from the Scheepvaart museum, through the City Center, and out towards the Westerdok. Amsterdam has also announced that they plan to hold their annual Canal Parade. According to their website, they’re holding off on Pride until August because more people will be vaccinated then, so there’s a greater chance they can celebrate as similar to normal as possible. The Dutch city of Amsterdam is hoping that they’ll be able to do in-person Pride events. Here’s a look at 10 Pride events from around the world that will be happening this summer. Before you make your travel plans, be sure to check with the local Pride websites for up-to-date information. Luckily, there are a number of cities that are going to attempt in-person Pride celebrations. In 2021, some of these will once again be going virtual, while others have stated that there will be live Pride events, but that the dates are still unknown.
Each year Pride parades and events are an integral part of the LGBTQ experience. As the world emerges from the COVID-19 pandemic, everyone is looking to find ways to celebrate life with the people they love.
