LGBT Events in Netherlands Nijmegen
Although Nijmegen is not a big city there is a lot going on here – also for the LGBT community. In general, the LGBT community is quite open-minded and welcoming – also to non-members and heterosexual people. The common attitude is: ‘Alles kan, niks hoeft’ (everything is accepted, but nothing is obligatory).
- ‘Roze woensdag’ (pink Wednesday) during the ‘Vierdaagse’ (four day marches) in July. This is a day for the LGBT community on which everyone wears pink clothes. There are many parties and a drag show on ‘Festival op het eiland’ during that day.
