There’s plenty in the calendar with monthly gay club nights, Amsterdam Gay Skinhead Week in April, Leather Pride in November, or the famous White Party. The Amsterdam Canal Parade is a popular event as part of the Annual Gay Pride festival in August.

Rotterdam, The Hague, Dordrecht and Utrecht all have vibrant and thriving gay nightlife, so you don’t have to be in the capital to have a good time.
