A boat parade will go through the canals of Amsterdam on Saturday to celebrate the Day of the Dead, the traditional Mexican holiday. It is organized by the Mexican Talent Network in the Netherlands in collaboration with the Embassy of Mexico in the Netherlands. The organizers invite the Mexican community in the Netherlands and all interested people to celebrate the Day of the Dead.
Hundreds of thousands of visitors are expected again on Saturday for the Canal Parade in Amsterdam. The boat parade with 80 boats is part of the first two-week Queer & Pride. This year, two different parties have each organized their own week. The Canal Parade is at the end of the second week, which ends on Sunday with a closing party on Dam Square.
The cold and wet weather expected this weekend will not stop people from celebrating on Saturday during the 26th edition of the Canal Parade, the organization said on Friday. "Everyone is prepared for the rain. People along the side can bring an umbrella, and people on the boats bring dry clothes. All boats are double-checking that all electricals are properly covered and that the deck isn't too slippery.
