A RAINBOW OF CULTURE – LAHTI PRIDE 2025
12.5.–18.5.2025
The theme for Lahti Pride 2025 is culture and arts. Culture is an integral part of all communities: it creates meaning and wellbeing. Art is also a form of self expression, which is especially important for minority groups. In recent years, culture and arts have been viewed increasingly through an economic lens in society. We want to do our part in making sure that this valuable resource is available for everyone in the city in the future as well, while focusing on diversity. This year the patron of Lahti Pride is Lauri Maijala, the manager of Lahti City Theatre.
Lahti Pride is organised in its entirety by volunteers in collaboration with local businesses and organisations.
AN EVENTFUL WEEK
During Pride week you can take part in a myriad of events from lectures and workshops to cultural events and parties. The highlight of the week is the Pride march and party on Saturday. Take a look at the programme here!
PRINCIPLES OF A SAFER SPACE
We all have a right to feel safe, be heard and be included. This is only possible when all participants adhere to the principles of a safer space and take care of one another.
