Dates and Events for Berlin CSD and Prides in 2025

Other cities usually stage one main Pride parade (CSD), but Berlin has several! In addition to the 'main' CSD organised by the CSD e.V. organisation, there are other Pride events, each with its own unique focus. It is not surprising that the diversity of Berlin is also reflected in the Berlin CSDs. The question is: which Pride event suits you best?

"Disabled and crazy" - Pride Parade

On 5th July, the Pride Parade will once again roll, hobble, dance and celebrate through Berlin under the motto "Disabled and crazy - celebrate until you stand out!". The parade is being organised for the twelfth time and aims to focus on queer disabled people and their rights. The Pride Parade is campaigning for Germany to do more for the human rights of people with disabilities. For example, they are calling for better inclusion of people with disabilities in schools and the workplace, self-determined living and housing, better (financial) support and the removal of barriers in everyday life.

Lesbisch-schwules Stadtfest

On July 19 and 20, it's that time again: the lesbian-gay city festival is taking place in Schöneberg! This year's motto is “Equal rights for unequal people - worldwide!”. Several hundred thousand people will once again flock to the famous gay neighborhood around Motzstraße this weekend - in rain or bright sunshine - to be inspired by the numerous community stands, to celebrate on one of the big stages or simply to see and be seen! The city festival is and remains one of the major highlights during Pride Month and is once again organized by Regenbogenfonds e. V., an association of local gay landlords.

Community Dyke* March Berlin

The Dyke* March Berlin organizing team, which normally organizes the demo for lesbian visibility, announced on social media that they would not be able to hold the Dyke* March this year “due to health and organizational reasons”. A short time later, another group announced the “Community Dyke* March” on the same day, July 25. The demo has already been registered, including the route, and further information will be available shortly on the organizers' Instagram profile.

CSD Berlin

"Never be silent again!" is the motto of the large CSD e.V. The highlight and conclusion of the event is the CSD demo. Pride Month, on the other hand, starts on 28 June 2025, the anniversary of the Stonewall riots in New York in 1969. The final rally traditionally takes place on Straße des 17. Juni, more precisely at the Brandenburg Gate. In the weeks in between, the queer community will put on a varied programme of films, parties, sport and much more. Detailed information can be found on the CSD website.
