Linköpings Pride, Sweden, 18th - 23rd of May 2026

Linköping Rainbow Week is a recurring event in Linköping that raises issues of norms, inclusion and the equal value of all. The week combines knowledge and culture and creates space for conversations about how norms affect people's lives.

The program includes lectures, discussions, cultural elements and activities that invite reflection on norms and how they can be challenged. I cannot confirm the exact start year, but the event has established itself as an important meeting place for both learning and community.

Evidence suggests that the first Love Parade was organized as early as 2005 and that this later developed into a full week. According to the same information, the current form as Rainbow Week was established in 2013.
