This year's theme is "hetero" with a focus on how heteronormativity impacts on the daily lives of homosexuals, bisexuals and transgender people.
Music, debate, speeches, demonstrations, seminars and whole lotta partying are what's on offer as the festival reaches its traditional climax with the Pride Parade on Saturday.
Price: 700 kronor for the week
Time: Monday July 27th - Sunday August 2nd
Location: Pride Park, Tantolunden; Pride House, Kulturhuset & venues across the city
