About Nuremberg Pride
Nuremberg's Pride is the biggest event of its kind in Franconia and caps off several weeks of pride programming across the city. It is organized by Förderverein Christopher-Street-Day Nürnberg e.V., which brings together more than 60 groups, clubs, and initiatives for a joint march through downtown to Kornmarkt.
At Kornmarkt, the march turns into a two-day stage program with more than 20 acts. Performers include Luys, Sam Voice Music, Betty Pearl, Kai Iden, Schwesta Ebra, Wanda Kay, Queens United, Melvin Hein, France Delon, and Ikenna. The political side of the program includes a talk moderated by Andrea Kuhn, who directs Nuremberg's international human rights film festival.
The second day is calmer. A queer brunch with Franconian sausages and pretzels, backed by music from the Musikverein Lauf and performances by Yvonne Parker and Baby Bubble, leads into the afternoon. Families get a small kids' program with a bounce house and glitter tattoos.
Under the motto "Nuremberg loves," the event works as both a political statement and a celebration. Anyone willing to help with cleanup afterward gets free entry to the Together Party and Queer Jungle, the two big evening events built around the weekend.

Post-parade parties in clubs pulse with live music, creating spaces for connection. The city hosts queer film festivals and readings featuring international artists, making it a welcoming destination. Strong ties to politics and business promote growing acceptance in this Bavarian powerhouse.
