In a few months Cologne Pride and CSD Cologne will start. On the first complete weekend in July, Cologne again expects hundreds of thousands of visitors to fill the streets of the inner city.
Together, on the 8th July at the CSD Parade we will demonstrate that lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transsexuals will be equally treated legally and socially accepted. The street festival in the Cologne Old Town and the AIDS-Gala of the AIDS-Hilfe Cologne are, as well as the parade, an inherent part of the CSD weekend. A colourful stage programme, numerous information-stands and various political events await you.
To begin with, Cologne Pride, the two week supporting programme of CSD offers multifaceted surprises from all areas. On the 23rd June, Fantasy Pride in Phantasialand kicks the whole thing off. WomenPride will also start here, which combines all the events for women during the whole time of Cologne Pride. Whether it be readings, film screenings, panel discussions, partys, barbeques, seminars or other cultural activities, Cologne Pride and WomenPride offer something for every gay and lesbian, and their friends.
On the following pages you can read up on all things concerning Cologne Pride, CSD Cologne and all of the organiser's further events. Have fun browsing! As we have recently completely overhauled the design of our internet home page, the English versions of theses pages are not yet completely available. We are however working flat out so that the important information in English will be online.
The whole organising team are looking forward to a successful Cologne Pride and CSD Cologne 2012 together with you!
