West Pride is a non-profit arts and culture organisation that hosts an annual LGBTQI+ festival in Gothenburg, Sweden. Each year, the city is transformed with rainbow flags, public events, and a Pride Parade.

West Pride also works year-round to promote inclusion and human rights through education and advocacy. The organisation offers LGBTQI+ training and certification programs for schools and organizations across the Västra Götaland region.
