Turku Pride 2026 Finland

Info

Turku Pride takes place from 24th to 30th August 2026.

A group of active citizens are behind Turku Pride. These activists have versatile backgrounds: NGO activists, parents, politicians, people from Turku, people from Helsinki, naturalised Finnish citizens, foreigners with residency, students, unemployed, people on sick leave, artists, gay, straight, cisgender, non-binary/genderqueer, transgender. Pride is both a social and a very personal project. Someone wants a better world for their children, someone else likes the colour of Pride, and someone else might work on their life, thoughts and feelings through the project. Pride carries some unique meaning for each activist, and that’s how it should be. Turku Pride is an open project. This means that all kinds of ideas are received and everyone has a place in Pride. The event is always an image of its makers. We, the organisers, supporters, sympathisers, marchers, we are Turku Pride. Welcome on board.

Turku Pride is the start of the port city's rainbow autumn, a parade, park party and evening party.
