Music by the Water

The sun sets over the Scheldt, the water catches the light, and the quays fill with people who have only one plan: to celebrate together. Muziek aan 't Water is the ultimate open-air evening when the city holds its breath for a moment and then goes all out.

A food zone that smells just like a summer evening should, drinks within easy reach, and a lineup that keeps you on your feet from the first song to the last. DJ sets that slowly get the crowd going, a Belgian pop star who really heats up the evening, and a finale where all of Flanders sings along to the lyrics.

Bring your friends, your significant other, your neighbors. This is the kind of night where you’ll want to arrive early and stay late. Space is limited, so be sure to get your ticket in time. Welcome to the waterfront.

Pride in Town

Antwerp Pride invites everyone to gather once again at the welcoming Sint-Andriesplaats for an inspiring Pride in Town experience hosted by Radio 2 DJ Karolien Debecker?.

This year’s theme, FEARLESS, challenges us to go beyond mere participation. It is essential that we listen to the diverse voices within our community, commit to supporting one another, and understand the unique experiences that shape our identities.

The LGBTQIA+ community continues to face discrimination, intolerance, and violence. It is essential that we come together, not only to celebrate our identities, but also to advocate for one another’s rights. By supporting one another, we strengthen our bonds and raise our collective voice in the fight for equality and justice.

Pride in Town provides an important space for dialogue and connection, fostering understanding and compassion as we reflect on the progress we’ve made and the work that still lies ahead. Every story counts, contributing to the rich history of our community and reminding us of our resilience in the quest for unity.

Let’s commit to creating an inclusive environment where everyone feels safe and can be themselves. When we come together, we have the opportunity not only to celebrate who we are, but also to advocate for a future in which every individual is respected and valued. Together we are stronger, and together we can bring about meaningful change.

Join us for an exciting evening filled with literary and musical performances and spoken word: a heartfelt call to action. We’ll wrap up the evening with an amazing DJ set that promises to keep the party going.
