CSD 2024
Each year the Christopher Street Day demonstration and rally commemorates the Stonewall Riots in New York in 1969 and provides a space for the LGBTQ* community in Berlin to campaign for equal rights and the right to self-determination. With the parade held at the end of July, the month leading up to Christopher Street Day is Pride Month in Berlin.
Across the city there are a series of events and activities giving space to current issues in the queer community, all leading up to the parade and the Pride parties on 27 July 2024. For a complete overview of what is going on, check out the Christopher Street Day Berlin Pride website.
CHRISTOPHER STREET DAY PARADE
The motto of Christopher Street Day on 27 July 2027 is ‘Together we take a stand! Democracy needs Diversity!’. The parade will begin on Leipziger Straße at 12 noon and move through Mitte to Potsdamer Platz and on to Schöneberg and into the Tiergarten, ending up at the Brandenburg Gate.
Both a demonstration and a parade, expect elaborate costumes and floats, banners and speeches, music and dancing, combining joyful expression with displays of unity and a testament to the enduring fight for LGBTQ* rights. You’ll find the route map here.
Bars and clubs across the city will be holding events over the weekend. The official Berlin Pride Main Party is the House of Pride at Ritter Butzke and Kreuzwerk & Höfe, combining seven areas, five music styles and more than 3500 revellers. The official CSD FLINTA Party is at Haubentaucher, with three floors, an outdoor area with pool and a mix of pop, house, hip hop, afropop and RnB. Both parties are on the 27 July and there’s more info (and tickets) here.
PRIDE MONTH IN BERLIN
In 2024, the Christopher Street Day comes at the end of Pride Month – the third time the CSD organisers have used the period leading up to the parade and rally to create more space for networking and exchange. Each year there are a number of themes to the events and activities, based on current issues in the LGBTQ* community.
In 2024 the themes are: Queer in old age – how do you actually grow old happily as a queer person, Sport/Football – the challenges to LGBTQ* athletes have to deal with today, Islam – presenting projects, places and personalities to show how Islam and a queer way of life can be united, Strong queer network Germany and TIN – a feminist perspective.
The themes will be explored through panels, meetings, workshops, discussions and other events – the entire programme for Pride Month can be found here.
