Why Celebrate Diversity?

Celebrating diversity during Pride Groningen 2025 is more than just a party. It is a powerful message of acceptance and inclusivity that resonates throughout the city.

Diversity enriches our society in countless ways. It brings new perspectives, stimulates creativity and promotes understanding between different groups. Pride Groningen shows that these differences are something to cherish and celebrate.

By putting diversity in the spotlight, we create an environment where everyone feels valued and accepted, contributing to a stronger, more cohesive community in Groningen and beyond.


Breaking Stigmas

Breaking stigmas is a crucial part of Pride Groningen 2025. By being open and proud about diversity in sexual orientation and gender identity, prejudices and misconceptions are actively combated.

Education plays a key role in this. The Pride Groningen program offers workshops, lectures and discussion panels that contribute to a better understanding of LGBTQ+ issues.

Personal stories and experiences shared during Pride help to break stigmas. They show that behind every label lies a unique individual with their own dreams, challenges and successes.

Connection and Community

Pride Groningen 2025 focuses on strengthening ties within the LGBTQ+ community and with the wider society. The event offers a platform for encounter, dialogue and mutual understanding.


Between City and Region

Pride Groningen 2025 transcends the boundaries of the city and connects people from the entire region. This creates a broader support base for acceptance and inclusivity.

Collaborations between city and regional organisations ensure a varied programme that reflects the diversity of the entire province. From intimate LGBTQ+ parties in the city centre to inclusive events in surrounding villages.

This regional approach increases the impact of Pride and ensures that the message of love and acceptance is heard far beyond the city limits. It also encourages smaller communities to develop their own initiatives.

Pink Saturday: Looking Back and Future

Pink Saturday 2024 was a milestone for Groningen and lays the foundation for Pride Groningen 2025. The experiences and lessons from last year will be used to create an even more impactful event.

The success factors of Pink Saturday, such as the large parade and the diverse cultural programming, will be integrated into Pride Groningen 2025. At the same time, new elements will be added to keep the event fresh and relevant.

Pride Groningen 2025 builds on the energy and enthusiasm of Pink Saturday, but focuses even more on sustainable change and long-term impact in the region.
