Questions about the summerfestival

When is the pride festival in Stockholm? 

In 2023 the festival takes place week 31, that is July 31st to August 6th.

Why are you raising the prices on the tickets?

Ticket prices for the festival have gone up and down over the years that the festival has been running, but we haven’t actually raised prices since 2012. Before the anniversary festival, we are raising the prices, both to meet the expenses we have, but also to organize a better and more enjoyable festival.

Will there be day tickets this year and how much do they cost?

Of course there will be day tickets! Day ticket sales start closer to the festival, usually a week or so before the festival starts.

Are children allowed to participate in the Stockholm Pride festival?

The Stockholm Pride festival is for everyone, and of course that also includes children and families. Regarding Pride Park, our policy is that children under 15 years old must be accompanied by a responsible adult (over 18 years old) with a valid ticket, and the child then enters the park for free. The child ticket must always contain the mobile number of the responsible adult. From the age of 15, you can buy a youth ticket and then enter the park yourself.

In addition, children under the age of 13 years old must use earmuffs if they are in the sound cone from the stage to protect their hearing.

For everyone’s comfort in the park, dogs are not allowed. Exceptions obviously applies to service dogs, they are allowed to be brought into the area.

During the planning of each festival, this is taken into consideration, and we are careful when we consider who will, or will not, be part of our platforms. For more information, please contact [email protected] and we will get back to you!
