Oslo Pride

Oslo: 23 June – 1 July 2023

Pride is one of Norway's biggest and most important celebrations, and in 2022, after a couple of years of restrictions, we were once again going to gather in the streets in the name of love. Unfortunately, the parade was cancelled just hours before.

The night before the parade, we were reminded why this celebration is so incredibly important. We will not forget this, and this year are we ready to take to the streets again, in a parade that may well be bigger than ever! Love always conquers hate.

What's on during Oslo Pride 2023?

Pride Park – the heart of the festival

Oslo Pride's festival area used to be Spikersuppa, but the growing number of spectators has meant that Pride Park has been moved to Kontraskjæret, which has more capacity. In other words, it's time for a huge celebration! The New Pride Park as it's known will feature a main stage, mingling area, food and beverages, a Pride store and various stalls showcasing various organisations and associations.

The Pride Parade – the highlight of Oslo Pride

The Pride Parade will begin at 1pm on 1 July 2023. The exact route will be announced nearer the time on the Oslo Pride website, but one thing is certain – the Pride Parade will make its way through a colourful sea of people in central Oslo before ending up at Pride Park.

Invite old friends, new friends, soon-to-be friends, acquaintances and family members to join you in experiencing this fabulous event. See you at 1pm on 1 July 2023!

Pride House – listen and learn

Pride House will be hosting debates, seminars, workshops and more between 24-28 June at Legenes Hus in central Oslo.
