Arctic Pride Tromsø

Arctic Pride is Tromsø's Pride festival, held every November during the start of the polar night and billed by its organisers as the world's northernmost Pride. It is owned and run by FRI Troms og Finnmark. The week mixes a parade through the centre with talks, parties, concerts and culture events across town, and SLM Oslo runs a leather and fetish side programme called Arctic Pilot.

The 2026 festival runs from 9 to 16 November (arcticpride.no). The parade day and route are published on arcticpride.no closer to the date. Bring proper winter clothing: daylight is short in mid-November and the streets can be icy.
