Self-tailored shopping-bag suits, glitzy oriental costumes, fantastic wigs in all conceivable colours and shapes, brightly painted faces – no outfit can be too daring for this Sunday's Christopher Street Day. Berlin's 33rd Gay and Lesbian Parade is a manifestation for tolerance and equal rights.
The famous parade takes place on June 25th in Berlin and attracts a very diverse group of people –gay and hetero, young and old, from Berlin and all over the world. The ARCOTEL Velvet Berlin is looking forward as a proud partner of World Rainbow Hotels – the first global community of gay and lesbian welcoming hotels – to receiving participants and visitors of the CSD Parade in Berlin.
With approximately 300,000 gay inhabitants, including its openly gay mayor, Berlin is the third largest gay metropolis in Europe. The thriving, dynamic and diverse gay scene of Berlin is legendary: around 150 bars and restaurants, dance studios, language courses, clothing boutiques, fast-food stands, radio broadcasts focusing on gay related topics, and even a gay museum and the TEDDY film award transformed the German capital into the new gay mecca of Europe.
This year, the wagons of the CSD parade make their way through the streets of Berlin under the motto Normal is different. The path leads from the historical Kurfürstendamm avenue to the Brandenburg Gate. The final act begins at the end of the parade, during which both the political messages and the entertainment continues. Around 400,000 people gather around the main stage, where prizes for civil courage on the fight for gay, lesbian and transexual equality are awarded.
The detailed CSD program with all events, parties and concerts can be found at the official CSD Berlin website.
