LOVE, BEATS & PRIDE 2026 ππ·
Pride weekend has a rhythm of its own. You start somewhere, you end up somewhere else entirely, and at some point in between there's a drink in your hand and a song you didn't know you needed. We'd like to be one of those somewheres.
Here's the plan
On Saturday August 1, Chenin Chenin is throwing our annual Pride celebration. Full afternoon into evening, wine flowing, and some serious talent behind the decks running back-to-back Pride specials. Radio Chenin will be live streaming the whole thing too, so if you can't make it in person, you can still catch the sound from wherever you are.
The cause
This year we're using the day for something bigger than a good playlist. Our neighbours at Saarein, the oldest queer cafe in Amsterdam and one of the most iconic, keep a space that matters to this city. Starting July 20 and running through Pride Saturday, you can donate in shop to Stichting Saarein, the foundation that keeps Saarein safe, open, and standing as a home for Amsterdam's queer community.
No amount is too small. Buy a bottle, leave a little extra, or just drop something in the box on your way out. It all goes somewhere good.
