🏳️🌈 The Pride Parade
The parade is the highlight of Oslo Pride for many people, and this year, it’s back to its usual, glorious form!
Oslo Pride is a celebration of LGBTQ+ diversity, where we use a parade to show the world that we demand our rights and we stand together to defend them. No one is free until everyone is free.
This year, the parade will take place on Saturday July 1st.
The parade will go from Grønland to Rådhusplassen, and Oslo’s streets will be full of joyous people cheering on the diversity that the parade represents.
For many people, the parade is the highlight of pride. Everyone who wants to support the event by participating is welcome, but if you want to join as a larger group with slogans, vehicles, logos, etc., you must apply to do so. Application is now closed.

From sorrow to joy
Last year, the joy during Oslo Pride suddenly turned to sadness after the terrorist act outside the London Pub.
This year we will try to take the joy back!
