About Mittersill
Mittersill has its own Pride parade, the Mittersill Pride. It is organised by Heublumen, an LGBTQIA+ association from the province of Salzburg that focuses on queer life in rural areas. Besides Mittersill, the association also runs Pride parades in Unken and in St. Johann im Pongau. Heublumen itself describes these events as Pride parades in the countryside.
The parade makes queer life visible in the upper Pinzgau valley. The parade takes place in summer and moves through the town. The combination of traditional dress and rainbow flags runs through all Heublumen parades. Between the Prides, the community meets at the Heublumen Stammtisch, a monthly get-together that moves from village to village and regularly stops in Mittersill. Taking part is free. The association also runs the Regenbogen Ratscher, a talk format in which queer people share their stories, and it has stopped in Mittersill as well. The association treats Pride as a political demonstration for the visibility and protection of queer people in small communities, and it backs a petition under the slogan #keinDorfOhneSchutz.
Anyone planning to attend the Mittersill Pride can find the date in the association's event calendar. The calendar also lists the other Heublumen parades and the monthly meetups that travel from one village to the next in the region, Mittersill included. Volunteers are welcome to get in touch with the association.
