STORYLINE:
Dozens of colorful boats sailed through the Dutch capital’s waterways on Saturday as Amsterdam held its annual Pride Canal Parade.
The parade is the most popular event of a six-day Pride Amsterdam festival, which attracts tens of thousands of visitors to the city.
On both banks of the canal, spectator boats brimmed with attendees dressed in every color of the rainbow cheered on the parade.
Participants noted that despite difficult times, this was a day to celebrate and be filled with joy.
"This is what we need in life, right?" said Nanda Aung, a Pride attendee.
"We see all the tragedies in the world... and we forgot to celebrate," he added. "So I'm very happy that people come together one day and are able to celebrate this."
This year the parade drew 80 boats from organisations ranging from LGBTQIA+ groups to political parties, the Dutch government, the military and the Olympic committee.
Pride Amsterdam, which started in 1996, is one of the world’s largest Pride festivals.
