Copenhagen Pride
13 videos β’ 49 views β’ by Arhat Travel Copenhagen Pride is Denmark's largest annual Human Rights festival, focused on LGBT issues. It involves the entire capital Copenhagen and is held in August. A colourful and festive occasion, it combines political issues with concerts, films and a parade. The focal point is the City Hall Square in the city centre. From around 2012 the festival usually opened on the Wednesday of Pride Week, culminating on the Saturday with a parade. In 2017, some 25,000 people took part in the parade with floats and flags, and more than 300,000 people were out in the streets to experience it. In 2022, Copenhagen Pride takes place over nine days from Saturday 13 August to Sunday 21 August. This is the longest Copenhagen Pride except for when the city hosted EuroPride (1996) and WorldPride (2021).
