Oslo Pride

Oslo: 18 - 27 June 2022

Pride is one of Norway's biggest and most important celebrations, and in 2022, after a couple years of restrictions and lockdowns, we were once again preparing to gather in the streets for a huge parade in the name of love.

However, the night before the parade was to due take place, there was a painful reminder of why this celebration is so incredibly important. We need to take this message forward to ensure there is room for everyone in society. Love conquers hate!

What's on during Oslo Pride 2022?

Pride Park – the heart of the festival

Pride Park is situated at Spikersuppa next to the National Theatre. Enjoy live shows on the stage, food, drinks and socialising. There's no age limit during the day, but in the evening you're required to be 18 or older to enter. Entry is free of charge.

Pride Parade – the Oslo Pride highlight

The Pride Parade will be marching through the streets of Oslo on Saturday 25 June, and kicks off at 1pm from the Grønland district. From there the parade will dance its way through a cheering and colourful city, packed with supporters of free love, towards the Pride Park at Spikersuppa. After the parade the party lives on with parade shows at the Pride Park and family entertainment at the Youngstorget square.

Bring old friends, new friends, not yet friends, remote acquaintances and close family and join the festivities - see you there!

The Pride House at Clarion Hotel® The Hub offers debates, talks, workshops and plenty more.
