The story

Stockholm Pride in Stockholm

Stockholm Pride is Scandinavia's largest LGBTQ pride festival, held in the Swedish capital each summer since 1998. Organized by the non-profit Stockholm Pride Association, the week combines a seminar and debate program at Pride House, an exhibitor and performance area called Pride Park, a dedicated youth program, and the Pride Parade through central Stockholm, drawing tens of thousands of marchers and hundreds of thousands of spectators.

Stockholm Pride traces its roots to 1998, when Sweden's capital hosted EuroPride for the first time and a local organizing effort grew into an annual event of its own.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Stockholm Pride has hosted EuroPride three times, in 1998, 2008, and 2018, cementing its role as the reference point for Nordic pride organizing

02

The mystery stays covered

Each edition centers on a specially commissioned dog tag, a wearable accessory designed by a different artist every year since 1998, with past designers including Jean Paul Gaultier, Lars Wallin, and Efva Attling, and sales of the tag help fund the festival

03

The city starts moving

The event has drawn sitting Swedish prime ministers into the parade, hosted performers such as the Village People, Pussy Riot, and Icona Pop, and in 2022 brought together twenty-five of Sweden's best-known opera singers for a mass singalong in Pride Park led by tenor Rickard Söderberg
