About Hofheim
Hofheim am Taunus has its own Pride, called TaunusPride meets Hofheim. It is organised by Colorful e.V., an association based in neighbouring Eschborn that works against queerphobia, sexism and racism in the Main-Taunus district. A small team of volunteers runs the weekend. Pride usually takes place in June; the association announces the exact date on its website and social media channels.
Saturday opens with a rally in front of the town hall. The march then moves through the town centre to the festival grounds in the old town, which have mostly been set up on Kellereiplatz. There are information stands from clubs, initiatives and political parties, a stage programme hosted by a drag queen, and in the evening a DJ party.
Sunday is family day, with activities for children, stage acts and stands, including one run by Colorful. The town of Hofheim backs the event and invites local groups to take part with their own information stands or children's activities. Entry to the festival is free, and the association relies on donations and supporters to cover its costs.
Under the TaunusPride name, Colorful also organises a Pride in Bad Homburg in the neighbouring Hochtaunus district. For a large Pride, Frankfurt is the place to go: the city holds a march with an information street and a street festival lasting several days. Anyone who wants to stay in touch with the scene around Hofheim between these weekends will find the dates for Colorful's events and meetups on the association's website.
