Fetish @ WorldPride Amsterdam 2026
This summer, Amsterdam becomes the global stage for WorldPride 2026, bringing hundreds of thousands of visitors from around the world together to celebrate diversity, inclusion and freedom. As an official sponsor of Fetish @ Pride Amsterdam, Beyond Darklands is proud to support this special edition and to be represented on the Fetish @ Pride boat during the world-famous Canal Parade.
Fetish @ Pride showcases the rich diversity of the fetish community and highlights the important role it has played in the history of LGBTQIA+ liberation. Throughout WorldPride, visitors can enjoy a packed program of fetish-focused events, including masterclasses, workshops, Kinky Talks, social gatherings and parties where education, community and celebration come together.
One of the highlights is the Fetish Garden at Pride Park in the Vondelpark. This welcoming daytime space offers a safe and inclusive environment for everyone interested in leather, rubber, latex, BDSM, sports gear, pups and many other fetishes. It is a place where authenticity is celebrated, curiosity is welcomed and conversations help break down stereotypes. Fetish @ Pride proudly shows that fetish is an integral and respected part of our colorful rainbow community.
Of course, no WorldPride would be complete without the iconic Canal Parade. This year, the Fetish @ Pride boat once again sails through Amsterdam’s historic canals, proudly representing the many faces of the fetish community. Beyond Darklands is honored to be on board as one of the partners, standing alongside organizations, titleholders and community members from across the world to celebrate visibility, acceptance and pride. If you’re coming to cheer on the parade, look out for us on boat number 38!
Whether you’re joining the Pride Walk, the WorldPride March, visiting Pride Park or dancing at one of the many fetish events, WorldPride Amsterdam 2026 promises to be an unforgettable celebration. We look forward to seeing you there.
