Christopher Street Day in the Upper Franconian Vestestadt
CSD Coburg – also known as Coburg Pride – is the central event for the queer community in the Coburg region. Coburg is located in northern Bavaria in the Upper Franconia administrative district and is considered a rather conservative region. This makes the clear commitment to diversity, tolerance, and equal rights for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, and queer people all the more significant.
The highlight is the Pride Parade, which marches from Bahnhofsplatz through the city center to the Marktplatz. Accompanied by rainbow flags, music, and samba drums, participants demonstrate for visibility and against discrimination. Christopher Street Day commemorates the Stonewall Uprising of 1969 in New York worldwide.
The CSD is part of a multi-day Pride Week with a diverse accompanying program: a Queer Camp with a pop-up café in the city center, free lectures and workshops on diversity and social coexistence, information booths, a queer church service in the Salvatorkirche, and the festive Pride Ball in the Alte Kühlhalle as the grand finale.
The organizer is the association COMUN e.V., which advocates for the concerns of queer people in and around Coburg. Recent editions attracted several hundred participants and established the CSD as a regular fixture in Coburg's event calendar.
In a city the size of Coburg, its own CSD is an important statement: it creates space for encounters, education, and solidarity away from the major metropolises and strengthens the queer community in rural Upper Franconia.
The 2026 edition of CSD Coburg is scheduled for Saturday, June 20, 2026. The demonstration procession will lead from Bahnhofsplatz through the Coburg city center to Marktplatz, accompanied by rainbow flags, music, and samba drums.
The Pride Week will take place around the day of action: a Queer Camp with a pop-up café in the city center, free lectures and workshops on diversity and social coexistence, information booths, a queer church service in the Salvatorkirche, and the festive Pride Ball in the Alte Kühlhalle as the finale. The organizer is the association COMUN e.V.
Participation in the parade is free. Lectures and workshops are generally free; admission may apply for the Pride Ball.
Coburg is accessible via the A73 motorway and the Nuremberg–Erfurt ICE high-speed train line. The demonstration procession starts at Bahnhofsplatz, directly at Coburg station, and ends at Marktplatz in the center of the old town – both points are connected by walking paths.
Participation in the parade is free. Lectures and workshops as part of the Pride Week are generally free; admission may apply for the Pride Ball in the Alte Kühlhalle.
Current dates and the exact Pride Week program will be published via the organizer COMUN e.V. and queer event portals.
