Riihimäki Pride

The Riihimäki Pride festival has been celebrated by the City of Riihimäki since 2019. The background is a council initiative submitted in 2018, initiated by Miia Nahkuri (SDP), Sari Jokinen (Greens) and Aino-Kaisa Pekonen (Left), and Riihimäki Pride is celebrated annually in June with a parade and community celebration.

Riihimäki Pride 2026 will be held on Friday, June 26. The program is currently being built and more information will be available soon.

Rainbow rocks are coming to town! – take part in a rock painting workshop in the spirit of Pride.

Come join us for a relaxed and colorful rock painting workshop in the spirit of Pride on Wed 10.6.26 at 5:30 PM and Sat 13.6.26 starting at 11 AM.
The event is open to everyone, and painting supplies and rocks will be available on site so you can easily create your own rainbow rock. The rock workshop instructor is Anni Salminen.
You can also bring your own stone if you want to paint it. Let's paint bold colors, messages, and symbols together – and spread joy and equality around the city.
After the workshop, you can hide your rainbow stone around the city, or take it home with you. The goal is to fill the city with joyful stones that exude hope and community.
Come alone, with friends or with family – everyone is welcome to paint, chat and celebrate diversity.

Let's make the city a little more colorful together!
