WorldPride 2021

Info

There are many reasons to celebrate WorldPride in Copenhagen and Malmö! Copenhagen Pride is inviting you to an extraordinary event that will alter your perception of pride and put you on a transformative journey through LGBTQ history and culture.

WorldPride in Copenhagen and Malmö will be a rainbow-colored pride party that will exceed your expectations. We plan for a busy eleven days of events such as art exhibitions, music performances, VIP receptions, human rights debates, sporting events and out-of-this-world parties.

​2021 marks no less than five anniversaries in Danish LGBTQ history that will be celebrated during this WorldPride:
70th anniversary: The world’s first successful genital reconstructive surgery was performed in Denmark in 1951
50th anniversary: A Danish chapter of the Gay Liberation Front was founded in 1971
40th anniversary: Denmark removed homosexuality from its official list of mental illnesses in 1981
25th anniversary: The first Copenhagen Pride was celebrated in 1996 when Copenhagen also hosted EuroPride
15th anniversary: Danish lesbians and bisexual women obtained the right to assisted reproduction in 2006

WorldPride 2021 invite you to take part in a spectacular commemoration of our historic progress, an incredible celebration of diversity and a global call to action for equality.

Besides hundreds of cultural events, we plan for WorldPride 2021 to feature an outstanding beach party-style opening ceremony. With more than 10,000 attendees, prominent speakers, an array of musical performances and a unique setting that allows you to frolic in the sand and enjoy a dip in the sea water, this will be an extravaganza!

The Copenhagen City Hall Square will be turned into a global Pride Square! LGBTQ organizations and NGOs from all over the world will be there to tell spectators about their work and encourage them to join our fight for equality. Pride Square will also be a pulsating backdrop to five days of open-air shows and performances - free of charge!
