As long as there are people who don\u2019t want us to exist, partying \u2013 that is, taking up space in the public sphere \u2013 will remain a powerful political act.<\/p>\n\n<p>How has Pride evolved from a demonstration into one of Sweden\u2019s biggest cultural events, and what has been the key factor in this?<br\/>\u2013 The strong commitment shown by everyone who helps to make the festival happen. Everyone from the speakers and performers on our stages to the many hundreds of volunteers whose hard work brings the festival to life, year after year.<\/p>\n\n<p>Why do you think you\u2019ve been nominated for Event of the Year 2025?<br\/>\u2013 Perhaps precisely because Stockholm Pride is seen as relevant, because it is organised to a high standard, because we reach a wide audience, and because the festival makes a difference to people\u2019s lives, both during the festival itself and in the longer term.<\/p>\n\n<p>We are proud to once again present the Event of the Year award \u2013 a prize that recognises exceptional planning, creative excellence and organisational prowess in meetings and events.
