Frankfurt

NEVER SILENT AGAIN – FRANKFURT IS LOUD. From July 17 to 20, 2025, the banks of the Main River – between the Alte Brücke and Untermainbrücke bridges – will become the colorful heart of the city: Christopher Street Day Frankfurt invites you to four days of visibility, solidarity, and joie de vivre. And you'll be right in the middle of it all!

 

A new home by the river. In the heart of Frankfurt, on the Mainkai, we're not just celebrating our shared commitment to LGBTIQ+ rights – we're celebrating ourselves: loud, proud, and diverse. The new location offers space for encounters and exchange, for political statements and lighthearted fun, for goosebump moments and exuberant celebrations.

 

Thursday: Movie night & sundowner vibes Our open-air movie night kicks things off on Thursday with WHAT A FEELING. But even before that, the banks of the Main invite you to relax and unwind: enjoy the sunset with cool drinks, good food, great music, and your friends as you kick off the CSD weekend together.

 

Street festival of diversity The information mile offers a colorful celebration of diversity with committed initiatives, queer events, political groups, and sales stands—open, approachable, and full of lively conversation.

 

The family area offers games, learning, and creative activities, while the historic Ferris wheel invites you to enjoy views of the city and the festival grounds.

 

In the Youth Area, young people create their own space – designed by young people, for young people.

 

Stages, voices, statements

 

On the main stage, powerful voices meet great music: solo acts, bands, DJs, and passionate performers fill the stage with attitude, empowerment, and genuine emotion. Every performance is a statement for diversity.

 

The Stage for Art & Culture brings queer poetry, drag, and performance to the stage – including, of course, the popular high-heel race on Saturday evening.

 

If you love electronic sounds, the Dance Stage at the DLRG hut is the perfect place to chill out and come together.

 

Highlight of CSD Frankfurt: Rally and demonstration on Saturday

 

On Saturday, July 19, 2025, at 11:30 a.m. on the Römerberg, the central rally of CSD Frankfurt will take place – a political and emotional highlight of our Christopher-Street-Day. With clear words, strong personalities, and powerful statements, we will take a stand against discrimination and for equal rights, diversity, and social participation.

 

Speakers on stage will include: • Heike Hofmann, Hessian Minister for Labor, Integration, Youth, and Social Affairs • Nargess Eskandari-Grünberg, Mayor and Head of the Diversity Department of the City of Frankfurt am Main • Enissa Amani, comedian, actress, and activist in the fight against racism, for women's rights, and social justice • Sebastian Reggentin, press spokesperson for CSD Frankfurt e. V. The rally will be moderated by Janboris Ann-Kathrin Rätz.

 

Immediately afterwards, at 12:30 p.m., the big demonstration will start – loud, colorful, and visible. Led by courageous families, it will march through the city center, carried by people who stand up for justice, respect, and equal living conditions with attitude and solidarity.

 

CSD Frankfurt: Loud. Colorful. Unmistakable. CSD is much more than a demonstration – it is a festival of life and rights. A place where differences are celebrated and commonalities are strengthened. A space for exchange, attitude, culture, and joy.

 

All updates and program details will be available here in the coming days – so stay tuned.

 

We look forward to seeing you – and to four days that will make Frankfurt a little more colorful, proud, and visible.
