Antwerp Pride 2026 Belgium

Info

Antwerp Pride takes place from the 5th to 9th August 2026.

For our 19th anniversary, we are planning a full edition with parade and festivals in new locations. The centrepiece in the many Pride events is the Pride Parade. Alongside the Parade we organise and/or welcome cultural, educational, activist, sportive, initiatives. We do this always from a positive, solution and common ground seeking approach. With great empathy towards all minorities and people at risk of exclusion. As a volunteer organisation, we take great pride in building community throughout our events. Antwerp Pride originates from the LGBT+ community but actively seeks alliances with all people and organisations within the city that share our passion for a diverse, inclusive and engaged city.
