    Leather & Fetish pride

    Multiple, Amsterdam

    The countdown is on. From 15–19 October, Amsterdam celebrates a historic milestone: 30 years of Leather & Fetish Pride Netherlands.

    Building on the record-breaking momentum of 2025, we are bringing that same energy into a landmark five-day program. This anniversary honors three decades of community and pride, made possible by the dedication of our staff, volunteers, and partners.

    This year’s program is our most ambitious yet. We are proud to host the prestigious Mr. Leather Netherlands Election and the international Mr. Rubber Europe Election. We are also turning up the intensity with the return of the legendary Invasion and the debut of MELTDOWN on Friday—a brand-new event designed to push the weekend to its limit.

    New Event Coming Up: TQA x OPEL / SHOP AMSTERDAM

    On the 16th of October, The Queer Agenda will be co-hosting an intimate dinner at OPEL / SHOP Amsterdam, a temporary queer-owned space dedicated to design from the 70s through the 90s.

    For one evening, OPEL / SHOP Amsterdam will be transformed into one big, extravagant 70s/80s penthouse, made up of a series of distinct dinner settings. Each table becomes its own fully styled interior, from decadent and romantic to industrial, office or listening room, where you will dine surrounded by vintage furniture, lighting, art and objects from the 70s through the 90s.

    Imagine this: an evening of delicious bites. Your hot hot friends. And, the mood? Penthouse Decadence.

    Groovy, baby.

    Time : 16:00-01.00
    The dinner: we will have vega options!

    Erotic Poetry Night - Berlin Special

    Tolhuistuin, Buiksloterweg 5C, Amsterdam

    By popular demand, Eroticly Yours returns to Paradiso with an Erotic Poetry Night - Berlin Special: an evening designed to awaken the senses through poetry, storytelling, music, and performance art, all centered around the erotic.

    Berlin has long been the place known for underground art, rough edges, stimulating nightlife, and a place where you can come as you are. Berlin even holds a special place in the founding story of Eroticly Yours. Therefore, this edition will be a Berlin crossover, with some of Berlin hottest artists and Netherlands based artists joining forces.

    From tender to explicit, from fantasy to the everyday, from toys and self-pleasure to burning desire, from dates gone wrong (or wonderfully right), to erotic fashion, kink, fetishes, and slow kisses – the world of the erotic is as rich as it is diverse. Guests are invited to come alone, with friends, or with a date, and experience performances by a wide range of local and international artists offering their unique take on what erotica can mean.

No experience is needed, everyone can box. This class is suitable for both beginners and more advanced boxers. If you’ve never boxed before, let us know if you are a beginner. But no worries, there are many cute boxers and experienced trainers who are happy to help you out.

    Everyone deserves to feel safe. We aim to create a space where you can learn to box, build confidence, and hopefully feel a little safer in your body and in the world. It’s also a place to meet community, where friendships can grow

    KNOKsupport

    By Queer Knokploeg @ Rita community center, Reguliersdwarsstraat 54, Amsterdam

    De tijdgeest verandert. De vijandigheid richting queer mensen neemt toe in het nieuws en de politiek, op middelbare scholen, en ook letterlijk op straat. En soms komt het ineens heel dichtbij.

    Wat doe je met een gevoel van onbehagen? Waar kun je terecht als je iets hebt meegemaakt, bang bent op straat of geïntimideerd raakt door wat je om je heen ziet en leest?

    Op 19 oktober organiseren Queer Knokploeg en Rita community de eerste KNOKsupport: een peer support en sharing circle voor queer mensen.

    Heb je een incident meegemaakt en wil je daarover praten? Wil je een ervaring delen, je hart luchten of gewoon luisteren? Alles kan. Je hoeft niets te delen als je daar geen behoefte aan hebt.

    Ook als je benieuwd bent naar RITA of de Queer Knokploeg, je wilt aansluiten of gewoon wilt weten wat we aan het opzetten zijn: kom langs. We vertellen je graag meer ❤️

    We hoeven dit niet alleen te dragen. We kunnen ons samen organiseren, elkaar steunen en iets in beweging zetten.
    🥊 Kom knokken, delen of gewoon zitten. Je bent welkom

    Queer tribe

    Café Saarein, Elandsstraat 119-HS, Amsterdam

    Oké ladies, 24 oktober om 20.00 uur is het zover: onze eerste Queer Tribe bij Café Saarein in de Jordaan. 🌈

    En voor iedereen die denkt dat ík daar dan volledig relaxed en zelfverzekerd binnenloop omdat dit mijn idee was… eh, nee. 😂

    Waarschijnlijk kun je me de eerste tien minuten ergens onder een tafelkleed vandaan vissen.

    Ik vind het namelijk óók spannend.

    Maar misschien is dat juist de bedoeling. Dat we allemaal een beetje die kriebel voelen van: oh god, durf ik dit wel? Ik ken daar niemand… zal ik wel gaan? En dat we vervolgens tóch onze jas aantrekken en komen.

    Want ik kreeg deze week weer zoveel DM’s van vrouwen die later uit de kast komen, ergens midden in dat hele proces zitten of simpelweg verlangen naar wat meer gelijkgestemden om zich heen. En je hoeft natuurlijk helemaal geen late bloomer te zijn. Misschien heb je gewoon zin om andere queer vrouwen te ontmoeten.

    Geen ingewikkeld programma. Geen idee wat dit uiteindelijk allemaal gaat worden. Gewoon beginnen.

    Beetje kletsen, beetje lachen, elkaar leren kennen en dan zien we wel waar het op uitdraait.

    Dus voel je die kriebel van ik wil eigenlijk wel, maar ik vind het spannend?

    Kom gewoon. Dan vinden we het samen spannend. 🌈

    Ruby en ik hebben er in ieder geval ontzettend veel zin in jullie te zien.

    Looking Back – by Porn Film Festival Amsterdam

    Filmhuis Cavia, Van Hallstraat 52, Amsterdam

    This film block was screened at Porn Film Festival Amsterdam, earlier this year.

    For a long time, the only places you could watch porn were small, not-too-obvious venues, and usually under the shadow of censorship and the constant threat of closure. Through archival footage and first-hand recollections, we revisit some of these sites: Theatro Gil Vicente in Barcelos, the Mineshaft in Marseille, Bada theatre in Seoul. We also meet Lynnee Breedlove, who spearheaded Homobiles, a queer cab service in San Francisco, and Luz Emilia García, one of the precursors of porn cinema in Colombia. We look back to cherish the oft-forgotten treasures of those who broke ground way before us.

    The screening is a fundraiser for a nascent space for pornography and community in Cali, Colombia.

    Queer kinky women munch

    By Kwik @ Bar Buka, Albert Cuypstraat 124, Amsterdam

    KWIK welcomes those who identify as womxn: trans women, cis women and also intersex and non binary folks who still feel connected to the womn scene. This does not include crossdressers, sissy men etc.

    We don’t care if you’ve been doing BD$M for 20+ years or if you’ve only recently discovered your k!nky persuasions.

    KWIK munch is an easy-going place to meet other k!nky womxn, get to know each other, exchange experiences and plan for more of the good stuff together.

    We do care that we treat each other with mutual kindness and respect. Everybody is different, so no shaming, racism, sexism, transphobia etc. A no-brainer.

    Treehouse NDSM, T.T. Neveritaweg 55-57, Amsterdam

    Poly Stories | Shame & Guilt

    Treehouse NDSM, T.T. Neveritaweg 55-57, Amsterdam

    THEME OF THIS EVENING: SHAME & GUILT

    You feel an urge so big, you either need to give in or be consumed by repressed desire. It’s
    a popular psychological concept: try not to think about something and it will become all that
    you think about.

    Like two muscular bodies pressing up against each other or women’s voices dancing around
    one another - the attraction of same gender dynamics when a primary partnership is with
    someone of the opposite sex. Based on what society told you what is normal, you might feel shame for wanting. Maybe it’s the person you’ve reserved for late-night drinks in dim bars and lingerie turning into someone whose conversation topics are so magnetic you want to bring it into the daylight - like brunch with your parents.

    Things that your partner does not have or can not give (either because it’s not who they are
    or because they’re not into it as much,) things that diverge from your original ethical
    nonmonogamy framework which have become new desires as things evolved, or things that
    feel scary and intimidating to your partner, which you may need for your ultimate fulfillment.

    Even when you’re both poly/non-monogamous, ideas, wants, needs and points of discomfort
    for the people involved may differ. Here guilt often shows its face. Finding the balance between reassurance and security, and liberation as a sexual or romantic being is tricky. How do you ask for something that can bring temporary sadness to your partner, and infinite joy to yourself? When you want to confirm the other is giving you plenty, but you still want a little extra - and how to shake off
    internalised judgements, and focus on empowerment and exploration instead?

    With the right toolkit, things can exist in parallel or slowly integrate in your relationship when
    everyone feels ready.

    THIS IS FOR YOU WHEN
    This evening is for anyone: whether you’re just starting out or already experienced in non-monogamy/open relationships/polyamory.

    Queerboxing

    Lola Lieven, Rodenrijsstraat 43, Amsterdam

    Boxing is from and for everyone!

    That's why we are introducing our specially tailored FREE Queer Classes These classes are specifically for anyone under the queer umbrella. Our queer classes are specifically aimed at rookies but everyone is welcome.

    Boxing gear available and bring your own if you have.

    Queerboxing offers free boxing classes for anyone who wants to learn or try boxing in a safer, community-focused space. Our class is called Basic Bitch Boxing, in the most positive sense of the word. It’s about doing something we might not be good at yet but being brave enough to try anyway.

    We embrace the idea that it’s okay to be a “basic bitch” sometimes. You don’t have to know everything or be strong or experienced. Trying, showing up, and showing up for yourself is what counts. No experience is needed, everyone can box. These lessons are especially suitable for people who are new to boxing, but if you’re more advanced, it’s a great way to get your basics back on track and practice your foundation.

    Everyone deserves to feel safe. We aim to create a space where you can learn to box, build confidence, and hopefully feel a little safer in your body and in the world. It’s also a place to meet community, where friendships can grow.

    If you have any injuries, limitations, or access needs, please let the trainer know in advance so we can adapt the exercises where possible.

    What can you expect?

    • The head trainer is Louie Tas @documenting_Louie
    • Sometimes we have our backup bitches River Adomeit: @riveradomeit

    and Jay Muller @Upperkut_jay

    • Classes are free. No sign-up required, just show up.
    • We always begin with a check-in circle (name, pronouns, and how you’re feeling).
    • Then we do a collective breath, warm-up, and start the lesson.
    • We finish with a cool-down, stretching, breathing, and check-out.

    What do you need?

    • We have boxing gear available, but if you have your own, please bring it.
    • We sell hand wraps if you want a pair. Otherwise, we provide hygiene gloves.
    • For the Thursday class, please bring indoor sports shoes, as there are no mats.

    Accessibility

    Filmhuis Cavia, Van Hallstraat 52, Amsterdam

    EN The best short films from the Final Girls Berlin Film Festival, an exciting new collaboration for Filmhuis Cavia at a special almost-Halloween event!

    “Final Girls Berlin Film Festival showcases horror cinema that's directed, written, or produced by women, trans, and non-binary filmmakers. We are committed to creating space for female and gender non-conforming voices and visions, whether monstrous, heroic or some messy combination of the two, in the horror genre. We've seen more than enough representations of women as beautified victims and constructions of male fantasies or anxieties, and are working towards the primacy of women as subjects and storytellers in horror.”

  55. Superfan

    Superfan

    Cinetol, Tolstraat 182
, Amsterdam

    Superfan is the songwriting alter ego of Kali Priya Flanagan, a Brooklyn-based multi-instrumentalist and producer. Originally conceived as a solo project, the ambitious string arrangements developed in collaboration with cellist Omeed Almassi have become a defining feature of Superfan’s shimmering and magnetic pop sound. Following her signing to the London-based label AD 93 (Joanne Robertson, YHWH Nailgun, Dagmar Zuniga), the three recent singles — ‘Miss W Jones’, ‘Apeiron (Fantasy Football)’ and ‘Picture Of Return’ — mark the birth of “Acousticello”. With a renewed sense of confidence and an unhindered artistic vision, Kali has swapped literal lyrics for fragmented, impressionistic poetry. Heartbreak is translated into ballads full of veiled imagery and literary finesse, reflecting a deeper conviction in both his words and his voice.

    Freï: Hallow's Eve

    Nachbar, nieuwezijds voorburgwal 169, Amsterdam

    Our hallow's eve party is back. We’re assembling another thriller on October 31st that will have you possessed by both your inner madonna and your inner whore well past the witching hour.

    Freï is a party for femme expression in all its forms. If that speaks to you, we’d love to have you on the dance floor. To keep the space aligned with our vision, we've got a clear door policy.

    Cis men can only enter with a presale ticket. No door sales for cis men - if presale sells out, please don’t expect to get in. And for everyone: a ticket does not guarantee entry.

    We curate this space with intention, and our door team has the final say. Be respectful, be open, and most importantly - bring the energy we’re here to celebrate. See you on the floor.

    Emily Salvia - Voor ik 30 ben

    Theater de richel, Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal 282 , Amsterdam

    Wat als je wil opgroeien, maar ook niet los kunt laten?

    Van awkward coming-of-age momenten tot diepe vragen over de toekomst, alles komt voorbij in deze solo theatervoorstelling van Emily Salvia. En dat in full drag en met een flinke dosis zelfspot. Herkenbaar, rauw en soms een tikkeltje absurd. Perfect voor iedereen die zich jong voelt en geen idee heeft waar het leven naartoe gaat.

    Voor ik 30 ben… is een ontroerende en hilarische drag cabaretvoorstelling van Emily Salvia, het alter ego van theatermaker Luuk van de Ven. In een mix van theater, sketches en muziek neemt Emily het publiek mee in een intieme, meeslepende en soms absurd grappige zoektocht naar volwassenheid, identiteit en zelfacceptatie. Wat begint als een luchtige checklist van dingen die je “voor je dertigste” gedaan moet hebben, ontrafelt zich langzaam tot een rauwe blik op trauma, seksueel geweld, angst en prestatiedruk.

    DNA - Do Nothing Academy

    By Queer unplugged @ Volkshotel, Wibautstraat 150, Amsterdam

    When was the last time you did nothing? No scrolling, no TV while eating, no podcast while walking... You get the point.

    ​And no, nighttime sleeping doesn't count. You're unconscious for that. We mean awake, with nothing to do and nobody needing anything from you.

    ​THIS IS A SPACE TO DO NOTHING.

    ​Two hours horizontal with blankets, music, and your phone locked in a box.

    ​👉 PLEASE be on time (15:00 - 15:15 arrival window) to enjoy the full experience of this event.

    ​🌈DRESS CODE: to get the most of this event bring or come in cozy, soft clothing. Wear good socks ;) because you might want to leave your shoes at the door.

    ​👌 BRING: a cuddle toy, blanket or/an pillow to fully relax and go horizontal if you choose so. We have soft carpets you can lay on.

    ​🌈December 6th PROGRAM:

    ​Doors open - find your spot, say hi to a stranger, settle in (15min)

    ​Intro to the event + how to actually switch off, because most people can't do it on command. We promise it's not a Ted Talk (10min)

    ​Short guided meditation to drop you in the zone and out of your head (20min)

    ​100 min of DOING NOTHING!
    *If that's too challenging - you can read.
    👉 Curated mid tempo playlists for your ears and soul ;)
    👉 The last stretch supported by 🎹 a live chill piano set by TBA

    ​Coming back slowly. Stay lying down (10min)

    ​Open floor - guided conversation around phone use, rest and whatever came up in the quiet. Then we stop steering and you hang out, make friends, connect with other beautiful queers (35min)

    ​👌 That's two hours horizontal, meditation included.

    ​👉 We finish at 18:00 on the dot, but our space and the cafe stays open till late so stay on if you're not done.

    ​👉 Do I need to be queer to come? No. The host is queer, the events are for everyone, allies are welcome!

    ​💶 Please bring a physical card with you to pay for your drinks/snacks, as you won’t have access to your phone till the end of the event

    ​🎟️ If you can't make it, please forward your ticket to a friend - we have no refund policy.

    Hello, Hola, Merhaba, Ni Hao and more greetings!

    Are you a Queer KOC ( Kinkster of Colour ) and lately been thinking “Wow, I really wanna meet and connect with more kinksters of colour – wherever do I go?!” Do you yearn for a get together that has more of your flavour?

    18:15 till 19:00 - 19:15 - Introduction Round and talking about the topic at hand. The topics can go from easy breasy to talking about more systemic issues. Around 18:00 tot 18:10 we’ll slowly round of the topic and make space for the other people who are joining.

    19:15 till 21:00 - Free time! Everybody is free to yap and connect with eachother. Either continue the topic, crack some jokes or zone out safely in the corner. It is all good.

    21:00 Munch Over - The Munch ends but Bar Buka continues! If you don't want to leave you are more then welcome to hang out and vibe out.

    We (Rose and Anna) started this craft circle in October 2022 because we wanted to create an opportunity for queer people to hang out and meet in a non-party context, while sharing our hobbies with each other. And we're so glad we did! Our little group has meant so much to us during these last few years.

    Bring whatever you are working on or a new project, there’s always people around that are willing to help and share their knowledge if you are starting something new.

    Free entry and you can buy drinks and snacks at the bar, we recommend the fries and their (non-alc) cocktails!

    Queer kinky women munch

    By Kwik @ Bar Buka, Albert Cuypstraat 124, Amsterdam

    KWIK welcomes those who identify as womxn: trans women, cis women and also intersex and non binary folks who still feel connected to the womn scene. This does not include crossdressers, sissy men etc.

    We don’t care if you’ve been doing BD$M for 20+ years or if you’ve only recently discovered your k!nky persuasions.

    KWIK munch is an easy-going place to meet other k!nky womxn, get to know each other, exchange experiences and plan for more of the good stuff together.

    We do care that we treat each other with mutual kindness and respect. Everybody is different, so no shaming, racism, sexism, transphobia etc. A no-brainer.
