ANTWERP PRIDE 2025 | Pride Village during Love United and Closing Festivals

The 18th edition (since 2008) of Antwerp Pride takes place from Wednesday 6 to Sunday 10 August 2025 in Antwerp. This year’s theme is “Do not just march! Listen. Understand. Commit”. Prides are a mix of celebration – parties – and activism and advocacy. For the 2025 edition, the organising committee focuses on belonging. Belonging to the society at large – the ‘outside world’ – but also belonging within the rainbow realm. 

Typical for a pride festival is a Pride Village where both non-profit organisations and vendors have their stalls. If you need rainbow-coloured merchandise or you want to get in touch with LGBTQIA+ activist groups.

“Find out more about our partner organisations in one of the many information stalls and enjoy the summer beats. The Antwerp Pride Village on the renovated Cockerillkaai is a meeting place for like-minded people from within and outside the LGBTQIA+ community. Admission is free and everyone is welcome to explore our rainbow community and make new friends”, Antwerp Pride says.

The Pride Village operates on parade day, Saturday 9 August, and on Sunday, 10 August. The Pride Village opens at 3 PM and closes at 10 PM on Saturday and 8 PM on Sunday.
