Parkfest

Prepare for an unforgettable romp under the Berlin sun at the LesBiSchwule Parkfest! It's where the grass is greener, the laughs are louder, and the glitter sparkles like nowhere else.

Picture this: you, sprawled on a picnic blanket, basking in the warmth of the Berlin summer, all while drag queens dazzle, DJs drop beats that make your heart thump, and movies flicker under the stars. It's not just a festival; it's a smorgasbord of live shows, cinematic adventures, and dance-offs that'll make your spirit soar.

Open to all, this non-commercialized festival in Berlin brings together a diverse crowd of our community and allies to discourage prejudice in everyday life through culture, information and conversation.

Imagine a place where Berlin’s most colorful associations and institutions across the rainbow spectrum join hands (and maybe a few feathers) to create a mixture of fun, unity, and showcase galore. It's one of Berlin's last bastions of non-commercial coolness, a rare gem where joy isn’t measured by euros but by the width of your smile.

And when the sun dips below the horizon? The party doesn't stop. It transforms! The Park Fest Afterparty kicks in to fill the night with endless dancing, live performances, and that unique energy only found when the LGBTQ+ community comes together to celebrate life, love, and everything in between.

The Venue

Ah, the legendary Freiluftkino Friedrichshain, an open-air cinema paradise nestled on Landsberger Allee, becomes the heart and soul of the Parkfest every year.

Admission is as free as a bird, and the vibe? Utterly unbeatable. Here, cinema chairs and benches cozy up with cushions on the grass, while snacks galore promise to keep your munchies satisfied as you dive into the festivities.

LGBTQ+ Areas in Berlin

Kreuzberg and Mitte have been making waves as the go-to districts for those in the LGBTQ+ community. Over the last decade, they emerged as a vibrant alternative to gayborhood of Schöneberg, which is brimming with independent gay bars, quirky cafes, and delicious restaurants that serve dishes as diverse as the community itself.

Bottom Line

So, lace up your dancing shoes, fluff up your feathers, and get ready for an unforgettable day (and night) at the LesBiSchwule Parkfest. Berlin is waiting to welcome you with open arms and a disco ball.
