Berlin's Iconic Queer Festival Returns with Inclusivity at Its Heart

The Berlin-Schöneberg Lesbian and Gay City Festival has become one of the city’s biggest street celebrations. It draws hundreds of thousands of visitors every year to celebrate queer life, activism, and community. This year, the event will once again welcome everyone, no matter their background or identity. The festival began as a response to homophobia in the Nollendorfplatz area. Over time, it has grown into a vibrant celebration of the full range of non-heterosexual experiences. The atmosphere is lively and inclusive, with organisers describing it as a place where nothing and no one is treated as off-limits.

A booth from our website will be part of the event, offering free weekly papers, stickers, and coffee. Located on Eisenacher Straße near numbers 116/117, it will be staffed by team members ready to meet visitors and join the festivities. Our website has reported on queer life and its challenges since 1979. The festival continues to promote visibility and acceptance. Visitors can find more details at www.stadtfest.berlin. The event remains a key moment for Berlin’s queer community and its allies.
