Hamburg Pride — CSD 2026

Hamburg Pride (Christopher Street Day) is one of Germany's major LGBTQ+ celebrations, drawing hundreds of thousands through the port city's vibrant streets each July. The parade winds through St. Georg — Hamburg's gay neighborhood around the Lange Reihe — and the city centre, past the iconic Rathaus and through the recently redeveloped HafenCity waterfront. Hamburg's CSD has a proudly political character and draws the largest crowds of any CSD event in northern Germany. The city's working-class heritage and maritime culture give its pride a distinctive no-nonsense energy, complemented by Hamburg's thriving club scene centered on the Reeperbahn.
