About Ebersberg
Ebersberg, the district town of the Landkreis Ebersberg east of Munich, has its own Pride event, known locally by its German name Christopher Street Day. Ebersberg Pride takes place in July and invites people from the town, from across the district and from the surrounding area.
The event is run by a volunteer organising team working under the umbrella of the Kreisjugendring Ebersberg, the district's youth council. Its supporters include the Partnerschaft für Demokratie im Landkreis Ebersberg, a local democracy partnership, and the Jugendkomitee Ebersberg.
Everything starts on Marienplatz, the square in front of the town hall. A march leads through the town centre and returns to the square, where a stage programme and information stands follow. Local associations, initiatives and political groups use the stands to present their work. The event is a political demonstration for equal rights and against exclusion, but it also has the feel of a street festival where allies are welcome alongside queer people.
Dates, programme and announcements are published by the organisers on their social media channels, mainly Instagram, where you can also find out how to volunteer or donate. Ebersberg is connected to Munich by the S-Bahn lines S4 and S6. In Munich, the queer community centre Sub on Müllerstraße and the youth centre diversity München on Blumenstraße offer counselling and groups all year round.
