All the Dates and Events for Berlin CSD and Prides in 2024

Other cities usually stage one main Pride parade (CSD), but Berlin has several! In addition to the 'main' CSD organised by the CSD e.V. organisation, there are other Pride events, each with its own unique focus. It is not surprising that the diversity of Berlin is also reflected in the Berlin CSDs. The question is: which Pride event suits you best?

CSD Berlin

"Only strong together - for democracy and diversity" is the motto of the large CSD e.V. The highlight and conclusion of the event is the CSD demo. Pride Month, on the other hand, starts on 28 June 2024, the anniversary of the Stonewall riots in New York in 1969. The route is yet to be announced, the final rally traditionally takes place on Straße des 17. Juni, more precisely at the Brandenburg Gate. In the weeks in between, the queer community will put on a varied programme of films, parties, sport and much more. Detailed information can be found on the CSD website.

Dyke* March Berlin

The "Dyke* March Berlin" traditionally takes place in Berlin the day before the CSD. It has one main aim: to raise the profile of lesbians in the community and the public at large. In addition to lesbians, everyone who is part of the supportive community and stands up for human rights is invited to the demonstration. This year, the demo starts on Friday, 26 July 2024 at 6 pm.

Pride-Weeks Lichtenberg

The district of Lichtenberg is once again organising the "Lichtenberg Queer Week" this year. From 22 to 30 June, a diverse programme will take place at various locations in the district, organised by LGBTIQ* associations and initiatives. Sabine Pöhl, Diversity and Queer Officer for the district of Lichtenberg, notes that "more and more offences involving homophobia, biphobia, intersex and transphobia are also becoming apparent in Lichtenberg". "We want to consciously counteract this with encounters and discussions."

East Pride Berlin

Die East-Pride-Demo sieht ihre Wurzeln in der Lesben-und-Schwulen-Bewegung in der DDR und setzt sich beim diesjährigen Demonstrationszug am 29. Juni gegen den aktuellen Antisemitismus ein. Laut Veranstalter*innen wird der Pride unter dem Motto „Homos sagen Ja zu Israel – Queers for Israel“ vermutlich zu einer der politischsten CSD-Demos in diesem Jahr werden – und wahrscheinlich auch zu einer der umstrittensten. Der Umzug startet wieder vor der Gethsemanekirche im Prenzlauer Berg mit einer Auftaktkundgebung, diesmal aber ohne Gottesdienst. Danach geht es Richtung Alexanderplatz bis hin zur Neuen Synagoge.

"Disabled and crazy" - Pride Parade

On 13 July, the Pride Parade will once again roll, hobble, dance and celebrate through Berlin under the motto "Disabled and crazy - celebrate in solidarity!". The parade is being organised for the eleventh time and aims to focus on queer disabled people and their rights. The Pride Parade is campaigning for Germany to do more for the human rights of people with disabilities. For example, they are calling for better inclusion of people with disabilities in schools and the workplace, self-determined living and housing, better (financial) support and the removal of barriers in everyday life.
