Winter Pride

Winter Pride is Hamburg's unique LGBTQ+ Christmas market, bringing festive cheer to the heart of St. Georg, the city's vibrant gay district. Located just steps from Hamburg's central station at the corner of Lange Reihe and Kirchenallee, this intimate market offers a welcoming, inclusive atmosphere where queers and friends gather to celebrate the holiday season together. Unlike traditional German Christmas markets with over 150 stalls, Winter Pride features a cozy collection of around a dozen carefully curated vendors, creating a social meeting point that emphasizes community connection over commercial scale. The market comes alive with scene DJs spinning music, live entertainment including drag performances on weekends, and plenty of Glühwein to keep spirits warm. Various LGBTI associations support the event, collecting donations for charitable work while visitors enjoy traditional German Christmas fare alongside festive decorations. The market extends its hours on Fridays and Saturdays until midnight, making it perfect for after-work gatherings or late-night holiday socializing. With its prime location in St. Georg near all the gay bars and clubs, Winter Pride serves as the ideal starting point for a festive evening out in Hamburg's most welcoming neighborhood.
