Christopher Street Day
Berlin | Berlin | Germany
Location: City
Event period: Feast of Corpus Christi
Berlin celebrates the gay and lesbian community every year on the anniversary of the street battle of 1969 in New York’s Christopher Street, which was caused by a homophobic police raid in a pub in Stonewall. It is a festival that is attended by more than half a million people. Times have certainly changed since that seminal clash and many lesbian and gay people can now live freely in society. However, the movement continues to take part in street demonstrations and celebratory rallies. Berlin is proud to have been, in 1979, the first German city to celebrate Christopher Street Day as it proves that Berlin is a tolerant and open city, oblivious to race, religion or cultural background. This mega event will start at the Berlin Kurfürstendam and march on to the Potsdamer Platz and then continue to the Brandenburger Tor and all the way to the Tiergarten. At the “Siegessäule”, the event will be concluded with live music and a mega party.
