Rotterdam Pride Festival 2025

After a year’s absence, Rotterdam Pride Festival will return this year with a new edition on Saturday  27 September 2025. The festival will take place on  Willemsplein  and will conclude  Pride Week , which runs from  19 to 28 September . The organisation of Rotterdam Pride Festival 2025 is in the hands of  Bureau Vermaeck , in collaboration with various Rotterdam parties that represent the interests of the LGBTQIA+ community . Together they join forces to once again create space for visibility, meeting and celebration of the LGBTQIA+ community in the city.

The last edition of Rotterdam Pride Festival took place in June 2023 on the occasion of the 10th anniversary. In 2024, the festival was cancelled due to financial problems of the then organization. In the summer of 2024, Bureau Vermaeck took the initiative to bring Pride Festival back to the city. Because a city without Pride Festival is a city without a heart for all Rotterdammers. Rotterdam Pride Festival is not only a moment of celebration, but also of visibility, meeting and solidarity. It is an essential platform for emancipation and the celebration of diversity.
