About Stockholm Pride

The festival Stockholm Pride and EuroPride 2008 is arranged by the organization Stockholm Pride, which is a non-profit organization where all work with the festival is done on a non-profit basis. The Stockholm Pride organization has about 200 members, some of which are companies and organizations. The members decide on the association's and the festival's future at the annual meeting.

Since the start in 1998, Stockholm Pride has grown into one of Stockholm's largest and most appreciated festivals and the largest Pride celebration in the Nordic region. Every year the festival attracts loads of people from all over Sweden and from many other countries.

Each summer the city is painted in the colours of the rainbow, both literally and symbolically. The festival aims to create a huge free zone for homosexual, bisexual and transgendered people, the LGBT community.

Apart from organizing the annual Pride festival, the Stockholm Pride organization is committed to, by it´s solidarity project, helping related organisations in less liberal parts of the world. Read more about it, and about the work of the organization board, by clicking the links on the left!
