Info
Rotterdam Pride takes place from the 19th to 28th September 2025.
Rotterdam Pride is in its 12th year, wants a society in which everybody feels at home and dreams of a society in which everyone can be themselves, regardless of sexuality, gender identity, background or age. Rotterdam Pride is a connecting organisation that makes sexual-, cultural- and gender diversity discussable positively, by making use of culture, knowledge and entertainment. We’ll make diversity visible and discussable, by connecting people in a loving way to make Rotterdam Pride. Rotterdam Pride Festival is more than a party – it is a week in which we show together how colourful and powerful our city is. During Pride Week, Rotterdam is buzzing with events: from performances and talks to workshops, parties, expos and much more.
Theme
Queertopia.
Queertopia is not a utopia, but a necessity. In a city that thrives on creativity and radical ideas, Queertopia represents a future where queer creators, stories and voices are not on the sidelines, but are the beating heart of our culture and society.
Saturday 27th
Parade
The Pride March is the beating heart of Rotterdam Pride, a peaceful protest and a powerful celebration of visibility. Year after year, the LGBTQIA+ community comes together to claim space in the city, literally and figuratively. Through the streets of Rotterdam we march in a colourful procession, with thousands of people, united in a message of freedom, safety and love. Also, last year, without an official Pride week, volunteers and organisations showed how strong the Rotterdam queer community is, the March went on, rain or shine. The Pride March is for everyone who believes in a world where you can be who you are. And this year we bring that energy together to the end point: the Pride Festival at the foot of the Erasmus Bridge.
Festival
13:00–23:00. End the Rotterdam Pride week with a day full of pride, music and connection! The Pride March and Pride Festival come together at this iconic location in the heart of the city. From noon, the Pride Festival kicks off: a celebration of queer culture with a line-up full of local talent and international queer icons. Expect performances that touch, beats that connect and an atmosphere that celebrates who we are, in all our colours. The program is curated together with our own Rotterdam legends and the community itself. It is festive, accessible and supported by the values of the renewed Rotterdam Pride: inclusive, progressive and proud.
