The theme for 2023: Joy & Riot
The theme for this year is Joy and Riot.
Joy highlights the happiness that our own identity and the diversity of our community can spark when we are equal, seen, and proud. Just like pride, joy acts as a counterforce to hate, injustice, and oppression in all, also internalized forms. Riot represents our right to exist, be seen, and heard – and honors our history and roots of Pride-movement.
The 2023 Helsinki Pride will be loud and visible, and we will highlight the theme of Joy and Rebellion extensively in our content and program, in which LGBTIQA+ activists and artists will be in the center. Together we proudly celebrate our diversity and demand human rights for all of us, including children and young people.
