Today in Denmark

Next Upcoming Event

Copenhagen Pride in mid-August is one of the largest Pride celebrations in Scandinavia, featuring a week of cultural events, talks, and parties culminating in a parade through central Copenhagen that draws hundreds of thousands of participants and spectators. It carries no public holiday status but is one of Denmark's most internationally visible annual events, reflecting the country's strong and longstanding tradition of LGBTQ+ rights — Denmark was the first country in the world to legalise same-sex registered partnerships, in 1989.

• ✦The Copenhagen Pride Parade winds through the city centre with colourful floats, music, and tens of thousands of marchers, culminating in a large gathering and concert at Copenhagen City Hall Square (Rådhuspladsen).
• ✦Copenhagen Pride Week includes a full programme of panel discussions, cultural events, and community gatherings across the city in the days leading up to the parade, reflecting the festival's combination of celebration and continued political advocacy.
