- What I have missed the most is the parade, which usually gathers around ten thousand people, says Jesper Persson, chairman of Qom ut.
The festivities began with mingling at the cultural center Spira, followed by an opening ceremony with speeches by representatives from Region Jönköping County, the county board, the municipality and Qom ut.
- It is noticeable that it is an election year for all seven Riksdag parties present in the parade this year, says Jesper Persson.
During the week, lectures and various cultural events will take place around the city and the festival will end at the weekend with the Pride Parade.
