Queer Night Market Berlin (Holzmarkt 25)

An Evening for Queer Creatives on the Spree

The Queer Night Market Berlin is an evening market event for queer and allied creatives, bringing together the LGBTQ+ community, designers, performers, and artisans. On Friday, April 24, 2026, from 4 PM to 11 PM, the collective "That Gay Creation" transforms Holzmarkt 25 in Friedrichshain into a night market featuring a drag stage, pop-up services, and handmade treasures.

Drag, Tattoo, Nails, Makeup, Streetfood

The market is not just about classic sales but a participatory format: at the stalls, you'll find one-of-a-kind pieces from queer-allied designers, plus live drawing, live drag shows, pop-up tattoo artists, nail tech stations, makeup professionals, and workshops. This is accompanied by streetfood and bars – in one of Berlin's most beautiful Spree-side locations, directly below the Schillingbrücke.

Holzmarkt 25 – Creative Spree Area

Holzmarkt 25 is a self-managed, cooperatively supported area directly on the Spree riverbank in Friedrichshain. A mix of local pubs, clubs, gardens, pop-up spaces, and stages, deliberately positioned against the nearby Mercedes-Platz model. For a queer-oriented market event, it's a logical choice: open atmosphere, low entry barriers, high quality of stay by the water.

That Gay Creation

The organizer is That Gay Creation, a Berlin collective that organizes several queer market formats in the city. In recent years, the Queer Night Market has established itself as one of Berlin's premier queer market events – not a mega-format, but a curated, performative evening.
