Gay Fair in Schöneberg

The gay fair of Schoeneberg, which usually takes place in June, had to be postponed to July, because of the football championship. It is called 24. Lesbisch-schwules Stadtfest (which means the 24th  Lesbo-Gay District Fair), but it is of course dedicated to the rights of all gays and open to all, including straight supporters/allies, with many stands.
