Aarhus Pride

Aarhus Pride is a gay pride parade in Aarhus, Denmark, and the largest LGBT event in Denmark outside of Copenhagen. The first event took place in 2012, and it has been held every year since. It is managed and controlled by private members of the LGBT community and is funded by the city of Aarhus. In 2017, approximately 6,000 people marched in the 3.5-kilometer-long (2.2-mile) parade with floats and flags.

The parade takes place every year on the first Saturday in June and lasts from early morning until late at night. The first event is the parade, which travels through the historic Latin Quarter before concluding at Vester Allés Kaserne, where a festival is held until the evening. The festival includes sports such as volleyball, badminton, and foosball on the green areas in front of the Concert Hall next to Officers Square, as well as a children's area with a bouncy castle and playground. Local and national LGBT associations, organizations, businesses, and political parties staff informational and food and beverage booths. A variety of activities take place on the small stage, which is centrally located next to the Aarhus Concert Hall. Music is played by DJs.
