Pride parades are a political statement that both celebrates the diversity of society and the right to love who you love and be who you are. Since the Stonewall riots in 1969, considered the start of the modern queer rights movement, Pride parades have spread around the world, moving millions of people through thousands of cities worldwide today.
Parades create international unity, provide a sense of belonging, honor the history of the queer rights movement, and highlight the ongoing struggles in today’s society!
In 2023, over 30,000 people participated in the parade in Bergen, and we look forward to gathering again in the streets of Bergen on June 8th!
If you are participating as individuals and not as a group, you do not need to register to join.
