Turku Pride

Turku Pride is the Pride week of Finland's oldest city, run by the volunteer association Turku Pride ry. It takes place at the end of August, later than most Finnish Prides, and ends with a Saturday parade and a park party.

The 2026 week ran 24–30 August under the theme "The joy of being queer". The parade on Saturday 29 August gathered at 11:00 and set off at 12:00 from Läntinen Rantakatu on the riverbank, finishing at Kupittaa Park, where the party ran until 17:00. The city raised the Pride flag at the Market Square and lit the Library Bridge in rainbow colours, and the evening party was at Logomo. In 2025 about 5,500 people marched.

Dates for 2027 have not been announced; going by the last two years, expect the last full week of August. Check turkupride.fi for the programme.
