About Pride

Welcome!

Welcome to Pride The Hague 2025! Following the long-awaited return of Pride to The Hague in 2024, we are committed to continuing and expanding our celebration of diversity and inclusion in this vibrant city—one of the four largest in the Netherlands, a recognized Rainbow Municipality, and widely known as the international city of peace and justice.

Since Pride had been absent from The Hague for some time, its revival in 2024 marked a significant moment for the LGBTQIA+ community. Now, in 2025, we are building on that momentum to create a broader, more inclusive Pride that brings people together from across the city, the region, and beyond.

Our Mission

The mission of Pride The Hague is to promote LGBTQIA+ acceptance and emancipation in the city of The Hague and in the region, to raise awareness of queer rights, and to celebrate the diversity of LGBTQIA+ people. Through community-building, collaboration, and visibility, we aim to:

  • Support the ongoing fight for equality and acceptance.
  • Empower individuals by providing spaces where their identities are affirmed and respected.
  • Engage with broader society, encouraging dialogue and understanding around LGBTQIA+ issues.

We believe that Pride is more than a one-time event—it’s an ongoing commitment to foster progress and acceptance.

Our Vision

  1. A Thriving Community
    We envision a future where everyone in the city of The Hague and in the region —regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, or background— can live authentically and participate in a vibrant, welcoming community.
  2. An Inclusive City and region
    The Hague’s status as the international city of peace and justice underlines our goal to ensure equality and respect for all. We want to see inclusive policies, cultural recognition of queer identities, and a collective embrace of the diversity of the city and region.

Why The Hague?

  • The Hague holds a unique place on the international stage: It’s recognized as the city of peace and justice, hosting numerous international courts and institutions.
  • As a Rainbow Municipality, The Hague has already demonstrated its commitment to supporting LGBTQIA+ residents and visitors.
  • The city’s rich cultural tapestry and history of international collaboration make it the perfect setting for a Pride event that emphasizes unity, understanding, and global solidarity.
  • The Haaglanden region has close ties to the city of The Hague, so developments in the city also have an effect in the region.

Our Goals for 2025

Pride = Visibility

We want to make the queer community in and around The Hague more visible and offer opportunities for all to come together and express themselves. Despite the strides made, there is still much work to be done to achieve true inclusivity. Pride The Hague 2025 will serve as an essential platform for education, celebration, and dialogue.

Pride = Collaboration

We believe in strengthening partnerships between LGBTQIA+ organizations, cultural institutions, and supporters within The Hague and the Haaglanden region. By fostering closer ties and collaborating with a range of diverse groups, we can create a Pride that is accessible, engaging, and representative of all facets of our community.

Pride = Growth

After successfully reintroducing Pride to The Hague in 2024, we continue to grow organically and sustainably. Our dream is to see Pride The Hague become one of the city’s most anticipated annual events, reflecting the city’s dynamic spirit and embracing everyone who calls the Haaglanden region home.

Commitment to Inclusivity

Pride The Hague 2025 is dedicated to creating an environment where people of all identities feel recognized, supported, and safe. We are taking concrete steps to ensure our Pride is as inclusive as possible, including but not limited to:

  • Accessibility: Ensuring event spaces accommodate those with mobility, visual, or auditory needs.
  • Diverse Programming: Showcasing voices from across the LGBTQIA+ spectrum, including trans, non-binary, BIPOC, and other historically marginalized communities.
  • Safer Spaces: Providing awareness training for volunteers, offering support resources, and enforcing zero tolerance for discrimination or harassment.

We recognize that true inclusivity is an ongoing process, and we are committed to listening to feedback from the community as we plan, execute, and continuously improve Pride The Hague.

About our Organization

Formed under the umbrella of COC Haaglanden and supported by the Municipality of The Hague, Pride The Hague is organized by a diverse working group of LGBTQIA+ community members, allies, and volunteers. Our passion for equality drives us to create events that unite, empower, and celebrate every individual who identifies within the queer spectrum.

Together, we are trying to turn The Hague into a city that truly resonates with positivity and champions the freedom to be yourself.
