PHOTOS: Berlin’s Lesbian & Gay Cityfest, Europe’s Gayest Street Party

01

The streets of Berlin’s already way-gay Schöneberg neighborhood turned especially queer this past weekend for the city’s annual Lesbisch-schwules Stadtfest, or Lesbian & Gay Cityfest.

Drawing more than 400,000 people every year, Europe’s largest LGBT street festival spans a 200,000-square foot area in the blocks surrounding Motzstrasse between Nollendorfplatz and Viktoria-Luise-Platz.

Scores of booths provide info about a broad spectrum of groups and services, and sell products running the gamut from food to hand-crafted wooden sex toys. Entertainment runs throughout the fest, highlighted by Saturday’s “Das wilde Sofa”, a hugely popular onstage talk show with local celebs.

The German capital’s Cityfest always happens on the weekend before Berlin Pride, known locally as CSD (for Christopher Street Day).
