West Pride Gothenburg 2025
After successfully hosting Europride in 2019, Gothenburg has put its pride on the map with a fun parade, great parties and strong political action.

One of the most livable cities in Sweden, Gothenburg is also a proudly working class city with a large working harbor, modern architecture and thriving cultural scene.

The Pride Parade
- Saturday 14th June, 2025 – Pride Parade is West Pride’s biggest event. It is both a colourful party and a manifestation for LGBTQI+ rights. The departure is 1 pm.
- Typically the Parade departs from Gibraltarvallen, same place as the Chalmers Cortége. It will continue along Gibraltargatan, Viktor Rydbergsgatan, Götaplatsen, Kungsportsavenyn, and end at Bältespännarparken.

- West Pride aims to create a safe meeting point for LGBTQI+ people at all ages, and also include families with children.
Other Events
- Pride House, will host seminars, talks, exhibitions, and workshops around Götaplatsen.
- The official flag period takes place over 7 days. Then the whole city and the region will fly rainbow flags.
Gay Gothenburg
In similar cities in other parts of the world—think Liverpool or Melbourne—the LGBTQ community has often had to struggle to earn acceptance, blazing a vibrant rainbow trail along the way that has helped create an urban renaissance of sorts. So is the case with Gothenburg, or Göteborg, as the locals call it, and West Pride is the community organization that led the way.
- Beebar is Gothenburg’s hetero friendly city centre LGBTQ hotspot, bar and restaurant.
- Wish You Were Queer – Prom Queens & Working Class Queeros United — that’s what the organisers say about this club that attracts an alternative queer crowd. Popular with locals. The club was held at canal boat Rio Rio over the summer but moves between different locations during the year.
- Gretas is Gothenburg’s only permanent gay bar. During Pride this two-floor establishment is heaving. Expect pop tunes, drag acts and a mixed crowd — as well as lots of dancing until the early hours.
- Gothenburg’s biggest monthly gay club, Club Queer, is held every last Friday of the month.
