Antwerp Pride has grown into one of Europe’s most exciting Pride weekends, thanks to its mix of culture, parade, and—above all—the parties. The city may be small compared to other Pride capitals, but when it comes to nightlife, Antwerp knows how to deliver.
The weekend kicks off with club nights in the city’s gay bars and venues, where international DJs set the tone. Expect packed dance floors, shirtless crowds, and an energy that doesn’t fade until sunrise. The Pride Parade on Saturday afternoon flows seamlessly into evening events, with stages set up across the city. The Love United festival is a highlight, filling the Waagnatie with sound, lights, and a crowd that feels both international and local.
What makes Antwerp Pride’s party scene stand out is variety. From sweaty underground beats to open-air stages on the riverfront, there’s something for every taste. The crowd is stylish but welcoming, drawing travelers from across Europe for a weekend of music and connection.
By Sunday, the vibe shifts to a more relaxed but still festive atmosphere, with brunches and closing parties that stretch out the last of the energy. For visitors, it’s the perfect mix of culture by day and clubs by night.
