Winner of Event of the Year
Stockholm Pride

Stockholm Pride 2025 has set a new standard for contemporary events by combining a colourful public festival with a strong focus on human rights, inclusion and the right to be oneself. The festival is the largest Pride event in the Nordic region and has long served as a model for how culture and social engagement can work together. Through an extensive programme featuring parades, stage performances and Pride House, Stockholm Pride has not only entertained, but also created a space for important conversations about equality and challenging social norms.

As well as the celebrations, the festival has served as a platform for culture, education and social debate, making it more than just an event – it is a movement for a more open and inclusive society. That is why Stockholm Pride is the obvious winner of the Event of the Year 2025 award.
