Salzburg Queer Update

12.12.2023 The Easter Festival at the end of March 2024 will also see a new edition of the Dance & Electronic Music section, which was introduced in 2023. On 28 March 2024, British DJ and sound artist Max Cooper will present his interpretation of the theme of this year’s Easter Festival at the Felsenreitschule. In 2022, he played the Acropolis in Athens. This gives you a rough idea of what will take place at the Felsenreitschule in March.

But before that, there’s a queer festive weekend in Salzburg. On Saturday, there’s the presumably very entertaining Christmas bakery with Uli Helminger at Olina. In the evening, the Magic Garage presents its Christmas show at the Narrencastl. Wolfgang celebrates the 8th birthday of the only cruising bar in Salzburg at Dark Eagle. At David’s in Mexxx, Father Christmas will be stopping by for Pink Christmas. And on Sunday, you can chill out from the weekend at Sexy Sunday Afternoon in the Dark Eagle or experience another highlight. Who knows?

27.11.2023 November is coming to an end, but still offers an event worth seeing with the film The Blue of the Kaftan (Tuesday 28.11. 19.30 in DAS Kino). As part of the queer film evening, this time it’s about love, homosexuality and saying goodbye in a kaftan tailor’s shop in Morocco. The film can be worthwhile if only because of the local dirty weather.

On 1 December (World Aids Day), a month full of events for queer people from a queer and cultural perspective begins in Salzburg. Musical premieres, HOSI Festival, Christmas baking, Pink Christmas Party and much more. So every weekend until Christmas is a worthwhile trip to the city of Mozart. Click here for an overview.

2.11.2023 November usually comes across as rather dull.But that doesn’t have to be the case.A look at Salzburg’s queer diary reveals that Gigi LaPajette will be brunching with her Austrian drag queens at the arte Hotel next Sunday (5.11., 11 am). This was a great success at the opening of this year’s Salzburg Pride. The following Saturday, Gigi will be travelling to Graz with her Rosa Stadl. There will be a new edition of the Salzburg Oktoberfest in the Marienkeller on 11.11.. If you want to see Gigi the weekend after next, you should go to Graz.

From Saturday (4.11.) until 3.12., Aida will be performed eight times as an opera production by the Salzburg State Theatre at the Felsenreitschule. The SLT writes: “Music director Leslie Suganandarajah conducts Andreas Gergen’s production of “Aida” on one of the most impressive theatre stages in the world: the Felsenreitschule. Andreas Gergen, who was opera director at the Salzburg State Theatre until 2017, is an expert in monumental music theatre productions and has already staged “Carmen” and “Hair” at the Felsenreitschule.”

On 19.11., it’s Sexy Sunday Afternoon again at Wolfgang’s Dark Eagle. The only gay sex party in Salzburg. And on 28.11., Das Kino will be showing Das Blau des Kaftans as part of the queer film evening. A story about love, homosexuality and saying goodbye in a caftan tailor’s shop at a Moroccan market. And then the Christmas market season begins. But more about that later.

20.09.2023 The makers of CSD Salzburg 2023 are still recovering from an organisational masterstroke at this year’s Prideweek. But cultural and queer Salzburg is moving into autumn with undiminished intensity. The Kaiviertel is a part of Salzburg’s old town that is a little off the beaten track and perhaps therefore particularly charming. Next weekend (29.09. to 1.10.) the Kaiviertel celebrates its Kaiviertelfest with a great programme. Almost 60 acts over three days will make this part of Salzburg’s old town vibrate.

Yesterday the HOSI Salzburg announced the remaining 3 dates for this year for the Queer Film Evening. An interesting mix of trans identity, big feelings and thriller.

Gigi LaPajette will re-launch her Rosa Stadl with Oktoberfest at Urbankeller in autumn (21.10.). And “Gigi’s Brunching Divas” will invite you to breakfast at the arte Hotel on 5.11. and 21.01.24 and follow up on the inspiring setting for the Prideweek opening in 2023.

The Sexy Sunday Afternoon will continue from October. The next opportunity for a relaxed Sunday afternoon is 15 Oct. And after that on 19.11. And probably on 17.12.

Halloween is coming up at the end of October. The Magic Garage will use the occasion for a performance. More about that soon here. And the Salzburg Culture Days, Jazz&The City and many other festivals make Salzburg a great destination even after CSD and the Festival. All events in the Upcoming Events and Art&Festivals calendar.

To this day, the film version is one of the TOP 10 films of all time. From 2 December in 21 performances at the Salzburg State Theatre.  [Read more]

QueKuWhat? QueKuSa!

The Magic Garage has been delighting audiences in Salzburg with its drag show for around two and a half years. The QueKuSa association has now been founded to do justice to its growing success. On the one hand the legal framework for the Magic Garage and on the other hand the basis for many other activities for queer culture in Salzburg. [Read more]
