Pride Swing: Purple Pride Party

Pride Swing is back!

Following last year’s success, Pride Swing returns to De Orangerie in ’s-Hertogenbosch on Saturday 3 October. This time, the evening is all about purple at Pride Swing: Purple Pride Party.

In 2025, we organised Pride Swing as a reunion for visitors to the well-known dance parties held at De Orangerie in the 1990s and 2000s. Old friends met again on the dance floor, shared memories and welcomed a whole new generation of partygoers. The enthusiastic response called for a follow-up.

And here it comes!

On Saturday 3 October 2026, from 20:00 to 01:00, we bring Pride Swing back to life at De Orangerie. An evening to dance, meet each other and celebrate. Purple Pride Party: this edition also kicks off Purple Friday week. Purple Friday takes place this year on Friday 9 October. It is an annual day when pupils and students wear purple to show support and solidarity with the LGBTI+ community.

On Purple Friday, young people highlight the importance of a school environment where everyone can be themselves, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression, with no room for bullying or exclusion. We think that deserves a festive start. So the Pride Swing 2026 dress code is simple: PURPLE!

Put on your best purple outfit, bring your friends and celebrate the Purple Pride Party with different generations. Tickets cost €17.50 and are available now.
