Queer June in Salzburg

Queer June in Salzburg

The month of June is full of queer highlights in Salzburg. Maybe one or the other date fits into your travel plans?

The British writer Christopher Isherwood made acquaintance with a very libertarian Berlin and a first flowering of gay life in public from 1929 to 1933. He wrote the book “Goodbye to Berlin“ on which the musical Cabaret by Joe Masteroff is based, first performed in New York in 1966. To be seen at the Salzburg Landestheater on 1, 8 and 12.06.

On Friday, 3.06., women from Salzburg and the surrounding area will come together again for a casual Ladies Night at the HOSI Bar. On Saturday, 4.06., the long awaited first HOSI-Fest will take place in Corona. The biggest gay clubbing in Salzburg, held four times a year at ARGE Kultur, brings a colourful scene of all genders to party together until the early morning. And it is also an important economic event for the work of HOSI Salzburg.

Tuesday 7.06. is the first of three Queer History(s) dates at the Hallein Celtic Museum. For the Pride season 2022, the Celtic Museum wants to follow homoerotic traces of history. Barbara Tober will trace sex in the imagery of the Romans at 6 pm in the Celtic Museum Hallein.

On Friday, 17.06, Gernot and Herwig invite you to LMC Salzburg goes Fetish at the HOSI Bar. And on 18.06. there will be something very special at the Mexxx Gaybar: from 7 to 9.07. a new edition of the Electric Love Festival will take place on the Salzburgring stage for the first time since Corona.

Together with Heineken, David from Mexxx is giving away 2 VIP tickets to this electronic music blockbuster. For every Heineken sold, there is one ticket for these attractive prizes. And this is already valid from 10.06. The only condition: The winner must be present when the lucky winner is drawn in the night from 18 to 19 June. Details on the Mexxx Facebook page.

On 25.06., Roman Forisch will take those interested in history on a queer city tour. Bishop Arn 1000 years ago, the doctor Paracelsus up to Ludwig Viktor, the youngest brother of the Habsburg Emperor Franz-Josef I – they all left their mark on queer history. Stories about them and much more can be found on the two-hour queer city tour.

On 27.06. the 2nd lecture “Queer History(s)” will take place at the Hallein Celtic Museum. Topic: “The History of Homosexuals in Austria” by Hannes Sulzenbacher from QWIEN – Centre for Queer History in Vienna.

This promises to be a queer June in Salzburg.
