Stockholm Pride (styled as STHLM Pride) is an annual LGBT pride festival, put on by the non-profit Stockholm Pride Association, [1] held in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden. [2] Since 1998, Stockholm Pride has grown and is now the largest pride event in Scandinavia. [3] The event now involves approximately 60,000 parade participants and 600,000 attendees. [2] It takes place in late July or early August. [3]

The event involves multiple offerings including Pride House (workshops, author talks, debates), [4] Pride Kinky (an exploration of BDSM), [5] Pride Park (artists, exhibitors, restaurants and bars), [3] [6] Pride Youth (an event for people age 13-20), [7] and the Pride Parade. [8]

In 1998, 2008 and 2018, Stockholm Pride was the host of the EuroPride.
