Every year thousands of people gather in the middle of summer to dance and celebrate the beauty of love and diversity for seven wonderful days. Join the rainbow party that is Helsinki Pride!
Welcome to Finland's largest largest human rights celebration and cultural event! This year's Pride Week theme is Encounters to highlight the importance of encounters between people after a time of loneliness for many of us. Pride is a platform for communication and inclusion that aims to create awareness and a sense of belonging, and you are welcome to join the community!
Helsinki Pride Week offers a series of thought-provoking workshops and colourful events. We're especially looking forward to:
The Pride Parade - 2 July 2022
Helsinki Pride Week's main event is the Pride Parade on Saturday. The parade commences at 1pm from the Senate Square and dances its way through the city toward the Kaivopusto Park, where the main party kicks off with a picnic.
Pride House - open all week
This year's Pride House is hosted by the Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma in central Helsinki. Pride House is the main hub for various seminars and workshops, and is a great place to learn more about the Pride movement and increase your understanding. Come on in - Pride House is open for everyone!
More than 100 000 people gathered in Helsinki in 2018, dressed in all the colours of the rainbow, to show their support of equality and the human right to be yourself. The grand celebration of love lasted for seven whole days - see pictures from the colourful parade here!

Read about Aurora, who always knew she was not a man, but rather a woman living in a man's body for 25 years before she was finally allowed to be herself. Aurora gives you her dos & don'ts of what to say - or not say - to transgendered people.
What happens when life doesn't quite turn out like you would have chosen yourself? What happpens when your family is divided and one of your parents suddenly comes out? For Carolin Solskär (27) from Sweden, this was a turbulent time in her life, but eventually led to some important conversations that provided answers to many of her questions.
We met up with a charity that supports parents of LGBT children - Stolta föräldrar till HBTQ-barn (Proud parents of LGBTQ children) - and we got some great tips from parents whose families have gone through their own "coming out" processes.
