Pride Week 2026
The theme of Hamburg Pride Week 2026 is ‘Queer in solidarity. Take a stand – for a future without fear!’ It was developed jointly by Hamburg Pride members and representatives of queer organisations and networks, as well as political parties. The goals of Hamburg Pride and the CSD parade include amending Article 3 of the German Basic Law to include the characteristics of ‘sexual orientation and gender identity’.
The individual events will take place between 25 July and 2 August 2026 at various venues across the city, with many of them being held at the PRIDE HOUSE in the Integrations- und Familienzentrum (IFZ) at Rostocker Straße 7.
See Hamburg Pride for a detailed event schedule (German only).
CSD Parade 2026
The CSD parade is the centrepiece of Pride Week. In 2026, it will take place on Saturday, 1 August, starting at noon, 12 p.m., at the junction of Lübecker Str. and Mühlendamm and will proceed via Steindamm, Steinstraße and Mönckebergstraße to the Lombardsbrücke.
In addition to colourful costumes, floats and trucks, there will be an accessible truck for social inclusion. This truck is designed for wheelchairs users and their companions. There will also be accessible stands for wheelchair users and their companions at Kreuzweg and in front of the City Hall for an ideal and unobstructed view of the parade.

CSD Street Festival 2026
The Hamburg Pride Street Festival around the Jungfernstieg and Ballindamm promenades and Rathausmarkt square is a place for people to meet, exchange opinions and ideas, and celebrate diversity and human rights together. Through music, entertainment and culture, Hamburg Pride Week supports queer visibility and equality, and takes a stand against discrimination.
Numerous initiatives, groups and associations provide information at their stands about their work and current political issues ranging from self-determination to the protection of queer refugees. The stages will feature live acts, talks, DJs and performances – loud, colourful and empowering. Join in and celebrate queer culture along with a healthy dose of political strength and solidarity!
