The route and entering the Canal Parade
The Canal Parade starts at 2 pm at the beginning of the Prinsengracht at the Westerdok harbour. At the end of the Prinsengracht, the parade turns left on to the Amstel river, passing the famous white Skinny Bridge (Magere Brug) and passes the Stadshuis / Muziektheater to make a right in the direction of the Oosterdok.
Participate with a boat or on a boat
You can apply to participate on the Canal Parade from February 1 2013 via the website www.weareproud.nl
On March 3 there will be a draw to select 80 boats that can participate.
Only those 80 selected boats can sail in the parade. Other boats can be on the side of the canal, if you get there early before they close down the route.
Participating boats and order
As soon as the list of participating boats is available we will publish it here. This is usually a few days before the event.
