In the organizer's words:

The Harbour Birthday in a blaze of color: The queer community celebrates tolerance and diversity

Now in its eleventh year, Harbour Pride traditionally takes over the Hamburg Harbour Birthday. This year, the LGBTQ+ community will once again be represented with its own area directly at the fish auction hall. With its program, Harbour Pride invites visitors to the fish market to celebrate together in the spirit of our cosmopolitan and tolerant city. At the same time, we are creating a place where awareness of the interests and needs of the community can be raised in an informal setting.

We offer a colorful constellation of entertainment, gastronomy and information. With a small stage full of colorful music acts, DJ*anes and artists for and from the queer scene, a dazzling and varied stage program will be created on all days. A special highlight is the Harbour Pride Race, in which the audience is encouraged to take part in fun games on stage. Another highlight is the first presentation of the Hamburg Pride Campaign 2026, which will take place on Saturday on the Harbour Pride stage by the board of Hamburg Pride e.V.
