Bygdepride is a movement and a member organization that will start in Ørsta and Volda in 2017. The festival was for the first time held in May 2018.

The first parade was attended by more than 50 teams and organizations, and several thousand people. The folk festival was, among other things, broadcast live by several of the country's largest media houses, such as NRK, VG, TV2 and Sunnmørsposten.
