The 27th April of every year is marked by a day of parties and celebrations while wearing orange outfits, Netherlands’ national color. The Amsterdam Gay Pride celebration, held sometime around July and August, is another big event of cultural parties and exhibitions and culminates in a parade of boats called the Canal Parade.
