This is Stockholm Pride
The association Stockholm Pride is a not-for-profit and member-governed organisation for everyone that shares our values. The association’s board is appointed by the members at the annual meeting, usually after suggestions from the Nomination Committee. The board is responsible for the organisation between annual meetings and for recruiting the festival management.
The purpose of the association is to make LGBTQ+ issues visible, and create a safe environment for homosexual, bisexual, trans and queer people and all the gender expressions within the LGBTQ+ movement. The Stockholm Pride festival is arranged yearly since 1998 and is the largest Pride festival i the Nordic. All work surrounding the festival is on a voluntary basis. The festival consists of Pride House, Pride Park, Pride Parade and Pride Young/Pride Family.
Pride House
In Pride House we value and protect democratic communication and the importance of meeting one another, reflect on the past and look towards the future. Stockholm Pride is a platform where organisations, associations, businesses, political parties and individuals can meet and exchange experiences and talk about issues and challenges for the LGBTQ+ community. Here you can also find workshops, author talks and debates.
Pride House will be open from the 27th of July to the 31th of July between the hours of 11.00 and 17.00. Entrance to Pride House is free!

Pride District
In Pride District we have amazing artists, exhibitioners, restaurants and bars for music and parties. Pride District is in many ways the heart of the festival, where visitors, exhibitors, artists and volunteers gather to create Stockholm’s largest festival! In the area you can eat and drink well, meet new and old friends or see various performances at the large stage or one of the smaller ones.
In 2026 the park will be open from the 30th of July to the 1st of August at Slakthusområdet. In order to gain entrance to Pride District you will need to buy a ticket.
Pride Parade
The Stockholm Pride Parade is the largest Pride parade in all of Scandinavia with around 50 000 participants in the audience. It is a joyful and colorful manifestation of love for equal human rights and a demonstration for everybody’s equal right to love and be who they want to be. The parade marches through central Stockholm.
In 2026 the Parade will start at 13.00 on Saturday the 1st of August along Norr Mälarstrand, close to the city hall. It will travel about 4.5 kilometers and end at Slussplan. From Slussen it is easy to change to the metro to get to the Pride district. The path is laid out in this map and it usually takes about 2 hours to walk.
As a singular private person you don’t need to register for anything, you can just join the crowd! If you are a larger group or have a vehicle you need to register.

Pride Kinky
Just like Pride District, Pride Kinky’s lovely ”Kinky Quarter” has also moved into new and exciting premises this year! As part of Pride District, we will be located in the Slakthus area, a place that some may know as a historical area for various fetish and BDSM parties! We feel at home, and invite you to feel the same.
We are part of Stockholm Pride to break the stigma around BDSM and fetish culture, create a place to learn more and to explore yourself in a safe environment. Pride Kinky exists so that those who cannot, do not want or dare to be open about their interest in BDSM and fetishism in everyday life, can have a chance to see and explore what it can be. To create a safe place for new and curious LGBT+ people to see and discover BDSM and fetishism and give them the opportunity to meet representatives of associations and other kinksters for personal conversations.
Pride Kinky is part of Stockholm Pride where you can find different parts of the kink and fetish world. Here you can explore the idea of BDSM (bondage & discipline, dominance & submission, sadism & masochism), challenge your ideas about what kink means and learn new skills. Why not draw kinky sketches, make your own whip or attend a lecture? Every day we have rope try-outs (Shibari), spanking with clothes on, our puppy corner where you can greet human puppies and a place for you to meet new like-minded people and network. There are also a lot of performances on our stage. The area is open to those who are 18 years or older.
Pride Kinky at Pride House
Pride Kinky is also part of Pride House, where we hold a variety of lectures and workshops. Everything from leather gays challenging myths and misconceptions, “do’s and don’ts” in a session to an introduction to latex clothing and BDSM in general. Welcome regardless of background, gender expression or orientation, Pride House is free for everyone.
Pride Youth
Pride Youth is for all youths between 13-25 years old and offers a meeting ground with exciting activities where you as LGBTQ+ youth can meet. Pride Youth offers seminars and theme-days. At Pride Youth everyone is welcome!
At Lava, Kulturhuset Stadsteatern’s (Stockholm House of Culture & City Theatre’s) space for young culture, you between 14-25 years can make pins, paint, lend books and much more. Lava is located in Stockholm House of Culture & City Theatre at level 4 and is open almost every day year round!
