Travelling Cheap

It’s that time of the year again, when it all gets hot and sticky. In Amsterdam. Since 1995 the Amsterdam Gay Pride parade has been held every year and is one of the biggest parties in Europe. That’s also partly due to the fact that there are different events within the parade itself that people can attend and it all lasts for three days.

So lets sit down and try to make sense of this. The Pride Parade lasts from August 1 to August 3, during which time thousands of people take to the streets during the day for an amazing party that travels through the city. To this you have to add of course the Canal Parade, which is part of the Pride, but is held on boats in the city’s canals. The Canal Parade is on August 2.

After a long day of dancing through the city one might think you’d be off to bed. However, there is a number of clubs where the party will just be getting started as the parade is winding down for the evening. The night of August 2 is also when the famous White Party will be taking place, so named because the dress code requires everyone to wear white. Then, on the evening of the third day, whoever still has the energy to go on can attend the closing party. There is a full schedule of events at the Pride’s website.

You can find cheap flights and hotels at British Airways, Expedia, hostelbookers and Hotels.com. Find a place to stay and then you just party on the streets for the weekend.
