The CSD is the great celebration of the gay community worldwide.

It recalls the year 1969. At that time gays and lesbians for the first time publicly defended themselves against the unwarranted police raids and discrimination in Christopher Street, New York.

The CSD has been celebrated in Munich since 1980 and in the meantime is a major event attracting several tens of thousands of visitors. 

The political parade through the centre of Munich opens the hot CSD weekend. The street festivals on Marienplatz and Rindermarkt offer a show program and an open-air disco.
