WILLEMSTAD - Pride Curaçao will take place earlier this year, from June 7 to June 12. Traditionally Pride Curaçao was always organized in the last week of September, but the organization has decided to have the event coincide with International Pride Month this year. The program of Pride Curaçao 2022 will be announced early 2023. It is already known that the Pride Walk and official opening will be on Thursday, June 7, and the boat parade on Sunday, June 11.
"Pride Curaçao evolved from the Get Wet Weekend. This was always organized in the last week of September and that is why Pride Curaçao was also organized during this week. After 10 years of doing this, we noticed that it was time to change this and synchronize Pride Curaçao with International Pride Month. During the month of June, attention is drawn to equal rights for LGBT people on a larger scale. We think it is a good choice to have our events also take place during this month in order to further increase awareness and support to find more and more space for acceptance and hopefully finally equality for everyone in Curaçao." Thus Frank Holtslag, President Pride Curaçao received another royal award in 2021 for his work and commitment to Pride on the island.
