“We are extreme. Extremely colorful, diverse, angry, proud, loud, confident and so much more,” said the organizers. The police expect around 10,000 people and 75 floats at the parade.
After a rally (11 a.m.) on the Römerberg, the demonstration will start at the Schaumainkai (Sachsenhausen side of the Main). The parade, which will take a route through the city center, will end at the Schöne Aussicht in the afternoon. The Rhein-Main Transport Association announced in advance that sections of some tram and bus lines will therefore be canceled or limited.
Street festival in the city since Thursday
The Frankfurt Pride is the largest event of the LGBTIQ community in Hesse and one of the largest nationwide. The Pride in the Main metropolis usually takes place in July – due to the European Football Championship, it will not take place until August this year.
The street festival at the Konstablerwache in the city center began on Thursday and runs until Sunday evening. There will be a stage and party program over the weekend.
Christopher Street Day commemorates the first known uprising of homosexuals against police brutality in New York’s Christopher Street on June 28, 1969. Since then, people all over the world have taken to the streets to commemorate this day.
