Stoa Youth Pride Evening

At Stoa square, we're creating Pride atmosphere together once again!

Expect summer socialising, colourful workshops, great music, friendly dogs, and vegan food. You can't beat an evening like this!

At the print workshop, we print rainbow designs onto fabric bags - a limited number of free bags are available. You can also bring your own thin cotton textile and decorate it with a beautiful print.

At the sign-making workshop, we brainstorm slogans and create custom signs for Saturday's Pride parade. All necessary materials are provided on-site.

At the pin workshop, we make pronoun and flag badges.

At Circus Magenta's circus workshop, you can try various circus equipment with low barriers under the guidance of Magenta's instructors.

The library's rainbow shelf brings book tastings and reading inspiration to the event. Bring your library card and you can borrow summer reading!

Friendly companion dogs from the Kennel Club will add to the festive mood.

The atmosphere is created by colourful DJ, host, and drag artist DJ Kolla, plus east-Helsinki indie artist Carma, whose performance brings together emotion and rhythm.

The event offers a free vegan buffet.

In front of Matthew Church, there's a jewellery workshop, garden games, and street chalk art.

At Stoa square you'll find everything you need for Saturday's Pride celebration - warmly welcome!

The event is aimed at young people aged 13-29.
