Ebersberg celebrates the CSD 2025: City – Country – Queer” in planning!
In Ebersberg, anticipation is increasing for the upcoming Christopher Street Day (CSD), which will take place on July 19, 2025. After the successful debut last year, which attracted around 250 people, the organizers now want to put together a colorful program. Under the motto “City – Country – Queer”, the event is intended to set an example for openness and tolerance, similar to 2024, when there was a strong response from the queer community. At that time, despite a shitstorm on social media that ranged from hateful comments to violent fantasies, many people expressed their support for the event. These were confirmed, although the Munich public prosecutor's office stopped the investigation against the authors because the statements were considered too vague. However, the organizers, Marla (18), Vanessa (19) and Leonie (20), do not let these attacks get them down and emphasize that they want to continue to be visible, not only in Ebersberg, but also in the countryside.
Preparations for the CSD 2025 are already in full swing. In order to offer visitors an unforgettable experience, numerous program items are planned. Among other things, drag artists will perform, bands will provide musical entertainment, poetry slams will be organized and speeches will be given. For the parade there will be a float with a sound system that will let the participants parade through the streets. To ensure that as many people as possible can take part, a shuttle bus from Markt Schwaben is also offered. Various stands at Marienplatz will provide information materials, while a colorful stage program will create the right atmosphere.
