Queer Families in Town

Antwerp Pride is once again focusing strongly on connection, visibility, and inclusion this year. With both a heartwarming family program and an inspiring citywide initiative under the theme “Fearless,” AP invites everyone not only to experience Pride but also to actively help shape it. Following a successful first edition, Queer Families in Town returns as a staple of the program. What began as a new initiative quickly grew into a welcoming gathering place for (rainbow) families and anyone who feels drawn to an inclusive and safe environment. On Friday, August 7, Sint-Andriesplaats will transform into a place where young and old can enjoy themselves, play, and meet one another. The program combines substance and relaxation, with a focus on both fun and a sense of belonging. Children can let loose at an energetic kids’ disco, enjoy cozy storytime sessions, or participate in numerous creative activities.

One of the absolute highlights will undoubtedly be the show featuring Mega Mindy, who will provide a generous dose of magic, fun, and wonder. Bart Kaëll will wrap up Queer Families in Town with an atmospheric performance full of familiar classics and infectious enthusiasm, bringing young and old together for a festive finale. Queer Families in Town is more than just an afternoon full of activities. It’s a gathering place where families connect, share experiences, and feel welcome. A place where diversity is a given and where children grow up with the message that everyone can be themselves.
