Stockholm Pride

On the Wednesday it's the grand opening of the closed off Pride Park which is the festival arena for tens of thousands[citation needed] of people, and in the park organisation stalls, stages, restaurants, shops, and other attractions are built.

Pride Park is open Wednesday through Sunday and every afternoon and evening a wide variety of famous artists and shows appear on the main stage.

Also outside the official Pride Park, there is a green and leafy area where people join up, drink, listen to the music and party into the warm summer night.

In addition to the official Stockholm Pride events, the week is noticeable elsewhere in the city.

Each year, a unique design accessory is created to accompany the Stockholm Pride festival event.
