Pride Square
During Copenhagen Pride 2023, Pride Square's design will be impacted by the relocation of the iconic Dragon Fountain to City Hall Square. However, organizers have adapted creatively and are excited to showcase their hard work. The Dragon Fountain will be fenced in, with a lounge area around it.
The square will feature two stages from Saturday to Wednesday: The Corner for talks and performances, and the larger Pride Week Stage for dance and shows.

It promises to be a vibrant and inclusive experience!
Copenhagen Pride Street parties
On 19 August, Centralhjørnet will have a twelve hour long party. Centralhjørnet is the oldest LGBTI+ bar in Denmark, where no two days are the same, and has a mixed audience both in terms of age and sexuality. At their street party, you’ll find outside drinks, DJs and the traditional pride party both inside and outside the bar.
At the same time the different gay bars and clubs on Studiestraede, including Kiss Kiss, Maksen Bar and Cosy Bar, are also celebrating. Like every year, the street will be closed to traffic and transformed into a fabulous street party to celebrate gay pride.
Pride Parade
As the street parties are getting started, Copenhagen Gay Pride’s biggest party takes to the streets of the city. The Pride Parade 2023 will take place on 19 August from 13:00, starting at Frederiksberg City Hall Square. From here thousands of people who take part in the parade will make their way via Pile Allé, Frederiksber Allé and Vesterbrogade to Pride Square.
This year, Copenhagen Pride sets a powerful example by exclusively utilizing 100% electric vehicles, showcasing their commitment to an eco-conscious and inclusive celebration.

The event aims to promote inclusivity and challenging divisive ideologies. Members of the LGBTQIA+ community and their allies are invited to join their voices, fostering a powerful sense of unity and strength in the pursuit of positive change: Come together to achieve progress.
