Christmas Avenue Berlin 2025

Christmas Avenue Berlin (LGBTQIA Winterdays) returns to transform Nollendorfplatz into one of Europe's most fabulous queer Christmas markets. The market will be up from November 28th to December 23rd in 2025. It will be celebrated in the heart of Schöneberg, Berlin's historic gay district since the 1920s, blending the holidays with LGBTQ+ pride across 50+ rainbow stalls, performance tents, and unforgettable experiences.

Why Berlin?

Berlin has been one of Europe's most supporting queer cities. The Schöneberg neighborhood surrounding Christmas Avenue holds special significance as:

-It is home to some of Europe's first gay bars from the Weimar era

-Location of the Memorial to Persecuted Homosexuals

-Current hub of Germany's most vibrant queer nightlife

The market continues this legacy of celebrating queer joy boldly and unapologetically.
