Every year, over 5,000 people come to enjoy the stage program, learn about a wide range of topics at the numerous booths of mostly volunteer-run projects and independent organizations within the LGBTQ+ community, and above all, celebrate together. The LGBTQ+ Park Festival aims to be a vibrant symbol of tolerance, acceptance, and solidarity.



The Festival

The next edition of the festival will take place on Saturday, August 8, 2026, marking its 27th year. Visitors can look forward to a diverse program with live shows, drag acts, DJs, film screenings, and much more. Relax on picnic blankets in the park, enjoy the Berlin summer, and soak up the special atmosphere.

Numerous Berlin-based associations and institutions from across the queer spectrum collaborate to create this event, showcasing their work in one of the city's few non-commercial festivals. This results in an open, diverse, and unique festival atmosphere.

The Park Festival is intentionally relaxed and family-friendly. Guests are invited to bring blankets and snacks and meet people of all ages – from young Berliners to families with strollers.

In the evening, the festival seamlessly transitions into the Parkfest after-party, where live shows and dancing continue late into the night.
