🌈 Join us for Christopher Street Day (CSD), Cologne’s legendary Pride parade and one of the biggest in Europe! Celebrate love, equality, and human rights with ESN as we march, vibe, and enjoy the colorful atmosphere together in the heart of Cologne.

This year, we are officially registered as a walking group in the parade! 🎉 Everyone is welcome to join, whether you’re part of the LGBTQIA+ community or an ally.

The motto of this year’s CSD is “FÜR QUEERRECHTE – Viele. Gemeinsam. Stark!” (“FOR LGBTQIA+ RIGHTS – Many. Together. Strong!”) 💜🏳️‍🌈

In the week before the parade, we’ll host a sign-painting session in cooperation with AStA and AQUK of the University of Cologne. Feel free to join and create your own sign to bring to the parade! We’ll provide some colors and glitter to help you get creative. ✨

Please sign up so we have a rough overview of participant numbers. No ticket scanning or check-in is required.

Bring your pride flags, your friends, and your best energy. Let’s make some colorful memories together! 🌈
