Stockholm Pride is one of the largest festivals in the city and seems to be growing year on year.

The city hosted EuroPride in 2008 which brought the international spotlight onto what was already the largest pride celebration in the Nordic region. The festival offers a parade, a park event and plenty of cultural events over the festival period. It's entirely not-for-profit and through its Solidarity fund it makes donations to other pride events around the world... which we think is all rather fabulous!

You'll find discussions, music, exhibitions and lots more in the Royal Garden which, over the festive period, is transformed into the Pride Garden! Then the 'oasis and meeting place' is Pride Park - with exhibitions, restaurants, writers and politicians...all day and well into the night!

REALStockhom.net is an evolving handy guide to gay Stockholm and you may also find the English version of the Stockholm Pride website a useful place to peruse!
