Harpa raises the rain­bow­flags

as a sign of solidarity in the fight for human rights and respect for all human beings.

Reykjavík Pride is now underway and as before, Harpa raises the rainbowflags as a sign of solidarity in the fight for human rights and respect for all human beings.

Reykjavik Pride has been an annual event in Reykjavik since 1999 but the first Reykjavik Pride Parade took place in August 2000. However, its history goes back to 1993 when Icelandic gays and lesbians first gathered in the city center of Reykjavik, demanding freedom and human rights.

The pride has blossomed and evolved into almost a week-long, colourful celebration that attracts over 100 thousand guests from all over the world. The programme is diverse with fund and interesting events. Further information.
