Vogelball

In the page's words:

What is the Vogelball?

The VOGELBALL takes place after the CSD and is not only a one-day rave in Hamburg-Wilhelmsburg - but also a place of visibility for the local queer scene. The glittering feather spectacle is one of the few events in Hamburg where international queer acts can also be experienced. We also want to use the event and the corresponding communication channels to draw attention to queer issues.

We wish for a peaceful coexistence as well as openness and goodwill towards the involved scenes as a prerequisite for a visit to the VOGELBALL and thus strive for a collective-playful approach to social norms: A dazzling escape from reality starting in the day and continuing deep into the night.

We do not tolerate sexist, homophobic, transphobic, racist, nationalist or otherwise discriminatory behavior and our trained awareness team has a special eye on this. This Masquerade Ball of Diversity is not a designated safe space, as we are not only targeting a queer audience, but also a queer-friendly audience, and thus want to be a place of encounter; however, there are awareness structures in place and we welcome your honest feedback to help us improve.

We support colorful feather and bird costumes and also offer booths that correspond to them; but at the same time we want to explicitly point out that we cannot accept disguises that remind of indigenous headdresses.
