Oslo Pride

Oslo Pride 2025

Bursting with rainbow-colored joy, this spectacular celebration of queer love and diversity takes center stage in the heart of Oslo, where equality and human dignity reign supreme.

Pride Festival - June 20 - 28

Pride or as locals call it, Skeive Dager – is Norway’s loudest, proudest celebration of love, diversity, and full-on fabulousness. Set against the jaw-dropping backdrop of Oslo’s harbor, this Pride is part festival, part cultural takeover, and all heart that takes place over a week of festivities, socials, parties, LGBTQ+ events, and more!

Pride Parade - Saturday, June 28

Get ready for Oslo to strut its stuff! The parade kicks off at 1 pm on Platous Street and glides through the city in rainbows of color, glitter, drag, trucks, buses, beats, and ending at City Hall with a bang (of confetti, obviously).

A sea of exuberant marchers floods the streets, waving flags high and donning extravagant outfits that would make even the most fabulous peacock blush. This extraordinary showcase of love and solidarity transforms Oslo's avenues into a river of color, love, and shimmering with pride. Afterwards, all the Oslo gay bars throw special Pride events and parties.
