Big audience on the opening night and advance-bookings sold out
Pride sing-along at Skansen, the opening of Stockholm EuroPride, drew 11 000 visitors. During the night, the festival’s advance-booking tickets sold out and 500 extra tickets will be released in the information centre in Gallerian.
- It was indescribable to stand on the Solliden stage and look out on the crowd. We are so happy that all these people want to celebrate the festival with us, says Jonah Nylund, chairperson of Stockholm Pride.
Stockholm EuroPride is celebrated until August 3. Today the Pride Queer Film festival has started and will continue throughout the weekend. Monday to Friday Pride House will be at Stockholms stadsteater and Kulturhuset. On Wednesday Pride Park will open in Tantolunden. On Saturday the Pride Parade will take place.
The extra tickets will be sold without this year’s dogtag.
