This was Utrecht Canal Pride 2023

We’re reminising about last months Pride Week!

Saturday, June 3rd was the annual Utrecht Canal Pride! The event is growing every year and this year again surpassed the previous edition. From the Oosterkade, the fleet departed towards Geertebolwerk and Paardenveld, where you joined thousands of spectators dancing along with the colorful groups on board.

This year we had a combination of familiar groups and new groups on board. The aSmiga’s made it a spectacle like every year with delicious snacks and the most fun beats! As always, BodyTalk was also present in large numbers, this year with the theme “Circus”. With beautiful decoration, they remain a favorite among the smaller boats! New this year were the men of Leather Social Utrecht. Decked out in full leather and giant flags, they too proudly sailed through the canals. A great success! Finally, our smallest boat this year was filled by a special group; students of Pcou Willibrord. Never before have such young people participated in Pride; but what fun it was! Curious about this group? The Jeugdjournaal even made a broadcast about it!

See you next year!
