The Big Opening World Pride Kids
A queer, open-air children's music night.
World Pride Kids is the children's program of World Pride 2026 in Amsterdam. The official opening takes place at ARTIS, amidst animals and nature, where children can discover the Natural Heroes Expedition: an adventurous route showcasing the diversity of the animal kingdom. The event features the premiere of two new picture books, Zeno the Seahorse and Sebastian the Black Swan. Based on real animals, these stories demonstrate that diversity is a natural norm, making the theme accessible to both young children and adults. This morning of wonder and storytelling marks the start of two weeks of activities for children and families during WorldPride 2026.
