The CSD Closing Rally

Berlin's Christopher Street Day, organized by Berliner CSD e.V., has been one of the largest Pride demonstrations in Europe for years. Hundreds of thousands march through the city on the Saturday of the demonstration — Pride Village at the end of the route is the official closing rally with a stage program. The venue is the Straße des 17. Juni, the wide avenue between the Brandenburg Gate and the Victory Column in the Mitte district.

Program and Artists

Several acts perform on the main stage every year — from queer pop stars and drag performers to DJs. The artists play free of charge to support the LGBTQI* community. In addition, political speeches are held, and speakers and representatives from queer initiatives, counseling centers, and associations get the microphone. The atmosphere oscillates between demonstration and open-air festival.

Around the Brandenburg Gate

Information stands from queer associations, counseling services, trade unions, parties, and companies stretch between the stage and the Brandenburg Gate. Street food trucks, bars, classic fairground stalls, and small sales areas line the avenue. Free admission. Whether you come from Berlin or from outside, combine the afternoon demonstration with Pride Village in the evening — a full day in one of Berlin's most colorful summer atmospheres.
