The Lesbian and Gay City Festival is the largest queer event of its kind in Europe and at the same time Europe’s largest anti-violence project with more than half a million visitors. From the very beginning, it has also been a symbol against discrimination and hatred, a sign against violence, and a manifesto for sexual diversity and equal rights.
Across more than 20,000 m², Motzstraße, Eisenacher Straße, Fuggerstraße, and Kalckreuthstraße transform daily from 11 a.m. into a vibrant cosmos of diversity. Six unique experience worlds make the city festival a place where community, culture, and joie de vivre merge:
»The Film World – Queer Cinema in the Spotlight«, »The Political World – Queer Voices in Democracy«, »The Positive Ones – Health & Wellness World«, »The Sports World – Diversity in Motion«, »The FLINTA World – Space for Visibility and Solidarity«, »The Fetish World – Discover the Diversity of the Senses«.
In addition, countless projects, initiatives, and organizations from the lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans*, inter*, and queer community present themselves – committed, creative, and inspiring.
Six stages. Countless highlights. Pure energy.
Look forward to snacks, drinks, and a musical line-up that leaves nothing to be desired:
»KISS FM« Stage B – The beat of Berlin. Urban, hot, danceable.
»FLINTA*« Stage C – From ballroom dancing and FLINTA* live acts to DJs guaranteed to shake you.
»SUNSHINE LIVE« Stage D – Electronic sounds straight from the radio onto the streets.
»Queer Media« Stage E – Cabaret, talks, culture, and community vibes.
»BOXER« Stage F – The meeting point for fetish lovers and everyone who celebrates confidently.
And of course: »The Wild Sofa« – The political talk show on the »City Festival Stage« A On Saturday from 5:30 p.m. to 6 p.m., Gerhard Hoffmann interviews prominent guests from politics and culture – critical, entertaining, direct. Afterwards, the varied stage program continues from rock to pop – Saturday until 11 p.m., Sunday until 9 p.m..
