Entzaubert

Early Jun, 2010 (TBA)

Even though Berlin already has a queer film festival, a lesbian film festival, a queer short film festival and a porn/erotic film festival, in 2008 the Entzaubert film festival was introduced.  This calls itself an "uncommercial" film festival, going for the underground feel.

Lesbian and Gay City Festival

Jun 12 - Jun 13, 2010
This annual weekend street fair, held in the traditional gay stomping ground around Nollendorfplatz in Schöneberg, is the beginning of the week-long gay pride festival. With a massive street party that welcomes upwards of 350,000 people, this is one of the biggest homo parties in Europe! There are a number of lesbian events, but one fun mixed party is the annual swing dance at the Berlin zoo.

F**k parade

Late Aug, 2010 (TBA)
Once again, you’ve gotta love the Berliners.  Tired of the commercialization of the Love Parade (a huge, annual one-day dance party event that attracted upwards of a million people), a counter-culture group decided to start the F**k parade.  This is now its own annual event taking place in August, that is also a huge party (though not on the scale of the Love parade... which sadly no longer exists in Berlin because they can't get a street permit.  How ironic that this one continues...)
