Défi Canal Pride Parade

Dear members, as the exams are getting closer and closer, we are already looking forward to all the nice things to do in the summer holiday. We guess that you are doing the same, being in doubt about which exotic island you will explore and what extravagant festivals you will visit. Well, Défi is here to make that decision a little easier for you because on Saturday the 6th of August, we will go see the Canal Parade in Amsterdam!

The Canal Parade will start at 12:30 from the Scheepvaart, so we will gather around 12:00 at Amsterdam Central Station. The exact meeting time will be communicated to all participants later on. The Canal Parade will end at approximately 17:00, however the after parties will have already started by 16:00 so we will go and check some of those out as well. Note that if you want to arrive later or leave earlier, that is fine as well!

So if you are straight, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer, curious, asexual, pansexual, gender-non-conforming, gender-fluid, non-binary, androgynous, all of the above or nothing from above, make sure that you subscribe!!

Note that the festival is completely free of charge, the only thing you have to pay for (and arrange yourself) is your travel to and from Amsterdam. However, you can get a group retour for approximately 5 euros a person*. So if you are interested in joining with this group deal, you can subscribe with that information and you can form groups yourself to buy this group retour.

Additional information on the Canal Parade can be found in this website https://www.amsterdamgaypride.nl/canal_parade/ or by watching last years aftermovie https://youtu.be/uzBkGUMRJOw . We hope to see all of you on the 6th of August!!

In case there are any questions or remarks, feel free to contact any member of Défi or mail to defi@gewis.nl !

Hugs from Défi!
