US Consulate Joins Christopher Street Day Parade on Saturday

The consulate’s participation is particularly apt this year given the U.S. Supreme Court’s historic decision on June 26, which recognized gays and lesbians’ constitutional right to marry. The consulate warmly invites Americans living in Bavaria to march with the consulate behind its banner. 

The consulate’s place in the parade is #39. Here is a link to the parade route: http://www.csd-munich.de/web/feiern.html?aid=2#politparade. Americans are welcome to join for all or part.


Where to meet: Consulate staff will gather at Sankt-Jakobs-Platz 16 (between the Jewish Museum and the Synagogue) at 11:15 a.m. Americans joining us must be there no later than 11:30 a.m. We will then move as a group to Oberanger street, about a block away, so we can be in place by 11:45 a.m. Look for the consulate’s banner, a rainbow map of the United States, like the one below.

What to bring: Sunscreen, water, backpack, and any American or rainbow pride flags or festive pro-equality signs you have.

What to wear: If you have clothing in red, white, and blue, or with the American flag, by all means wear it.

We hope you’ll join us in what we hope will become a tradition of celebration. Please RSVP to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. with your name, email address, and any questions you may have.
