Pride Calendar 2024 for Germany
Gay Travelers! Check your weekend holiday schedule and get ready for a Pride Trip to join the gay, lesbian, transgender, and queer people under the Rainbow and make Germany an even more gay-friendly country in Europe and the world. Did you know that Germany legalized Same-sex Marriage in the autumn of 2017? Well, those of you, who’ve already seen all of them or want to know how the international LGBT community is celebrating their gay pride demonstrations, should have a look at our European neighbors. In 2018, Stockholm hosted the EuroPride celebrations, receiving the baton from the Euro Pride Amsterdam in 2016. After World Pride 2017 in Madrid, the World Pride festival in New York in 2019, and World Pride in Copenhagen – Malmö in 2021, the next dates are already fixed with World Pride in Sydney in 2023, Washington in 2025, and Amsterdam in 2026. The next EuroPride is planned Thessaloniki, Greece, in 2024. Happy Pride for everyone with our Pride Calendar Germany 2023 from a proud couple of men.

Some might know it already, but Pride is called a CSD or Christopher Street Day in Germany. This originated from the first significant uprising of members of the LGBT community at the Bar Stonewall Inn in New York on Christopher Street Day in 1969. Since then, almost 50 years have passed, but gay, lesbian, and queer people still suffer from Homophobia worldwide. To support equality, to stand up for respect, to continue the heritage of LGBTQ+ activists and acceptance, and to show pride and love, demonstrations and pride parades are annually organized in Germany, too. We assembled all Gay Pride Parades in our Pride Calendar for Germany, one of the most gay-friendly countries in the world. We would like to wish Happy Pride 2024 to LGBTQ+ travelers, gay couples, and queer folks with our Pride Calendar Germany!
Gay Travel Index of 2024
The Berlin-based Spartacus informs LGBTQ+ and queer travelers about how gay-friendly a holiday destination is according to several ranking factors and criteria. Gay travelers can use the Gay Travel Index 2024 to prepare for their gaycation and as a guide when choosing a holiday destination. But which country ranks first? Where is it safe to travel to as a gay and LGBTQ+ traveler?

CSD Pride in Berlin & Brandenburg
Berlin, the capital of Germany, is located in the heart of the German state of Brandenburg. You might have attended Berlin Pride in the past years already, but there are more CSD parades in this region. The capital of the state of Brandenburg is Potsdam and kicks off the pride season in the north-eastern part of Germany in May, followed by the city LGBTQ+ parade in Cottbus a week later. Just followed by a brand-new CSD and gay pride in Brandenburg, the CSD in Falkensee at the end of June. A tiny demonstration, which should be supported by everyone around there at this time, will take place in Wendland. At the end of July, finally, Berlin Pride celebrates summer in the city. After years of inner political disagreements with separated parades in different parts of the city, the CSD Berlin is reunited again, showing off why Germany is ranked in a good place in this year’s Spartacus Gay Travel Index.

Best of CSD Pride in Berlin
Von Berlin mit gaaanz viele Liebe! Vor drei Jahren hatten wir die Gelegenheit für unseren Blog am CSD in Berlin teilzunehmen. Natürlich haben wir die besten Fotos und ein paar nette Reisegeschichten aus der Hauptstadt für dich mitgebracht! Viel Spaß in Berlin!
CSD Pride in Bremen & Hamburg
Our next stop: the two north German federal city-states, Hamburg and Bremen. We love Hamburg and its history charged culture. The LGBTQ+ community of Hamburg is planning a whole week of CSD and pride celebrations in 2023 in Hamburg, ending up with the colorful pride parade at the beginning of August. Hamburg Pride is celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2020 under the motto “Keep on fighting. Together.” Just a 1.5 hours by car drive in a western direction, and three weeks later, Bremen is celebrating its rainbow community at the end of August. The CSD in Germany is constantly trying to put political messages onto their demonstrations, demanding changes in politics for equality for everyone. So don’t be alarmed by posters and people shouting in unions. The Freedom of Speech is one of the pillars of the Federal German Republic.
CSD Bremerhaven: 13th July 2024
CSD Hamburg Pride: 3rd August 2024 | Hamburg Pride Week Juli bis 4. August 2024
CSD Bremen Pride: 24th August 2024

Undoubtedly, the biggest LGBTQ+ Pride event in the region is taking place in the German “financial capital” Frankfurt am Main. The region of Hesse is well known for its beautiful nature, dense forest, and the so-called Central German Uplands. In 2016, we had a wonderful time at the Slumber Wine Barrels at Nature Park Vogelsberg.
