June 10th

Saturday June 10th we will once again bring thousands of people together for the annual pride parade in Bergen. Pride parades and marches are events dedicated to celebrating the diversity in our society, the right to love who you love and be who you are! Pride parades move millions of people through thousands of cities all over the world, and most of the events take place around June to commemorate the 1969 Stonewall riots in New York City, a pivotal moment in modern LGBTQ social movements. The parades seek to create community and honor the history of the movement. It is both a celebration and a protest

In 2023, more than 30,000 people participated in the parade in Bergen, and we look forward to gathering thousands again on June 10th.

Pride Park is our festival area focusing on queer music and culture, and creating a social space where we all can feel free and proudly be who we are. This year’s Pride Park is located at Festplassen. At the park you can experience concerts, DJs, and other social activities in a safe environment where you freely can express yourself.

Pride Park has free entrance and is open for everyone.

Pride Park a place to dance, love, make friends,
be happy, be proud and BE YOU!

Pride House highlights culture through debates, lectures, workshops and various cultural expressions.

June 03 – 10
(Closed Wednesday 7th)

Pride House is Bergen Pride´s educational and political arena with emphasis on events such as debates, lectures, talks and workshops. Pride House is a party-politically neutral debate arena which, through norm-critical and intersectional perspectives, will shed light on gender and sexuality diversity and topics concerning the queer population in Western Norway, Norway and the rest of the world.

Pride House will be located in the heart of Bergen – namely in the middle of Festplassen. Pride House is a tent containing a stage, seating, bar, pride shop, toilets and a nice outdoor area where you can sit when the sun is shining.

Pride House is open from Saturday June 3rd to Wednesday June 6th, and from June 8th, Pride House will become a part of Pride Park. During these days we offer everything from debates, lectures and conversations, to quizzes, shows and parties in the evening.

All events at Pride House have either been organized by the festival’s organizing committee or in collaboration with other involved organizations. At Pride House we do not allow events or debaters that question other people’s identity or existence. Event texts are descriptive of what the event will be about, and can sometimes be put at the forefront to bring out the extremes of the debate. If you react to something in the texts, or if the event itself can be experienced as unpleasant, we ask you to contact us so that we can assess the content. Berge Pride does not allow any form of discrimination or harassment at our arenas, and we ask the public and participants to be aware of their own privileges and help create a safe space for everyone.
