Jubilee party This year marks the 30th anniversary of the event in Munich, so it should be a big one. Celebrations start at 11.30am on Saturday with a welcoming ceremony at Marienplatz. There are political speeches and comedy and DJ acts continue into the evening. There’s also parade around Munich’s Old Town starting from Marienplatz at 12pm. The parade includes over 40 floats and stretches over 1km. It’s great fun to watch and there’s a hugely festive atmosphere. On Saturday night there’s clubbing inside Munich’s Neues Rathaus, the City Hall on Marienplatz. On Sunday at 5pm there’s a ridiculous “high-heels race” where 10 participants attempt to outrun each other along with handbag throwing and ladder climbing competitions. Another focal point is Rindmarkt, a square 5min walk south of Marienplatz. Munich and international DJs mix it up on an outdoor stage on both Saturday and Sunday from midday to midnight. How it started Christopher Street Day began in 1969 when New York’s gay community demonstrated, sometimes violently, against police against discrimination. Known as the Stonewall riots, the protests sparked a new gay rights movement and it's remembered at Christopher Street Day celebrations around the world. Munich Lord Mayor Christian Ude is the event’s patron. See here to find out more about Lesbian and Gay Munich.
