14.04.2022 Now I wish all users of gaysalzburg.at a happy Easter. After that, things will continue exciting in Salzburg. Next Thursday evening (21.04.) Elfriede Pöttgen will present the photo book project “ICH” in a vernissage. 50 people who, through their way of living and loving, are faces of the LGBT scene in the public space of the city of Salzburg. These artistic portraits are documented in a photo book. The HOSI Salzburg takes this presentation as an opportunity to organise a whole transgressive weekend in Salzburg. On Friday evening Petra Pan will play at the Queer Party. And on Saturday evening, at the invitation of Gigi LaPajette, there will be a theatrical showdown of the Austrian drag scene. At the crime dinner, the participants are part of a theatre performance, accompanied by a 3-course menu. The evening is already sold out. Around 10.05. the new Salzburg Gay Guide will be released, available in the Bruno Stores in Berlin, Hamburg, Cologne and Munich as well as on order in the brochure dispatch of Tourismus Salzburg. On 14.05. Gigi LaPajette launches the Long Night of Diversity. And then on 4.06. the next HOSI festival. But more about that later. On Tuesday, the plane leaves Amsterdam for Salzburg and I’m looking forward to Salzburg at it’s best. And before that: Happy Easter!

01.04.2022 April is the first whole month without Corona restrictions and kicks off with many queer events in Salzburg.

Queer Spring Awakening

Today (1.04.) Astrid and Doris are once again expecting women from Salzburg and the surrounding area to attend Ladies Night at the HOSI Bar. Petra Pan will be spinning at Steinlechner this evening, and ballet director Reginaldo Oliveira will be presenting “Lili – The Danish Girl” at the Salzburg Landestheater. In this piece, Oliveira approaches the question of gender using the example of a pioneer of the transgender movement, Lili Elbe. The play will be performed again on 6 May.

Tomorrow, Saturday 2 April, “Madalena” will be shown in “Das Kino” as part of the 14th Latin America Film Festival. The film portrays a generation in Brazil that has to find its way between monocultures, social upheavals, lack of empathy, exploitation of nature and discrimination. The film will also be shown on 8 April at 4 pm and on 10 April at 8 pm.

Friday, 15.04. Gernot and Herwig invite you to the fetish evening “LMC Salzburg goes fetish” at the HOSI Bar. The evening will end at the Dark Eagle.

On Thursday, 21 April, there will be the long-awaited vernissage with the photos that Elfriede Pöttgen took last summer together with her assistant Elias Bornemann. 50 portraits of Salzburgers who are also the face of queer Salzburg. Some of the protagonists will be present at the vernissage in the Livingroom. Petra Pan will be spinning at the Queer Party at the same location on Friday, 22 April. Those who have experienced Petra before can look forward to it. And on Saturday 23 April there will be a rendezvous of Austrian drag queens at the crime dinner, also in the Livingroom. Hostess Gigi LaPajette will lead through the evening with improv theatre in which the guests are the actors and a 3-course menu. We are looking forward to it.

And in May, the Long Night of Diversity continues with a bang. That’s a good way to start life after Corona. See you in Salzburg 😀

05.03.2022 “No general curfew, opening of night catering, no upper limits for persons and consumption allowed at events”: These are the most important relaxations according to Corona for the catering industry, which apply from today, Saturday 5.03.

So from tonight, after a long period of closure, Wolfgang is back at work in the Dark Eagle. New – for a start – is a bar opening on Wednesdays to Saturdays. Admission to the cellar still costs one soft drink. There is a discount for multiple entries (10 for 9).

The Mexxx also returns to its old opening hours, seven days a week.

And so it looks like the return to life before Corona. Let’s look forward to the queer highlights of the next few months: Vernisssage, Queer Party and Crime Dinner from 21 to 23 April, the Long Night of Diversity on 14 May and the HOSI Festival on 4 June. Things are already off to a good start in Salzburg.

23.02.2022 “Let’s go” is the title of the HOSI Salzburg press release from today. It refers to dates for the queer scene in Salzburg. On 4 March, the women of HOSI Salzburg will present “Femmetastic Friday”, an evening of art and culture for International Women’s Day as part of the Ladies Night. Applications for artistic or cultural contributions can be submitted until 28 February (mail to office@hosi.or.at). On Sunday 6 March, “the new ones” from the HOSI invite you to a Weißwurst breakfast and the presentation of their plans for the near future. These are the new HOSI Salzburg chairwoman Astrid Pracher and the new managing director of HOSI Salzburg Conny Felice. The meeting will start on 6 March at 10.45 a.m. at the HOSI Salzburg. Please register by 2.03. to astrid.pracher@hosi.or.at. From 21 to 23 April there will be a series of events on the photo project “ICH” by Elfriede Pöttgen: Vernissage, Queer Party Night and Crime Dinner. Gigi LaPajette invites colleagues from the Austrian drag scene to the crime dinner on 23 April. On 14 May Gigi LaPajette is again the initiator of the Long Night of Diversity 2022. The last Night of Diversity 2019 was great fun. Continuation now on 14.05.2022. On 4 June there will be the next HOSI festival. The entire scene of Salzburg and the surrounding area will finally come together again at ARGE Kultur to celebrate, dance, chill and whatever else. Here we go. Finally!

09.02.2022 Corona has done it again: to throw away plans. This time it concerns the HOSI festival on 5 March, which was unfortunately cancelled yesterday by the HOSI Salzburg. So the next bigger queer event in Salzburg will be the weekend from 21 to 23 April with a vernissage, crime dinner and queer party. Photographer Elfriede Pöttgen has portrayed 50 protagonists from Salzburg’s queer scene who stand for the visibility of the rainbow in Salzburg. The visibility that is also reflected in this year’s CSD motto. Let’s hope that we can somehow get a grip on Corona by then. Vaccination helps.

03.02.2022 The motto of this year’s Salzburg Pride has been decided: “Be visible, Schatzi”. The result of an evaluation of statements from visitors to the Pride 2021. The visibility of the rainbow was the motivation for many to take part in the Pride last year. The organisers are taking this into account this year. Background information on the choice of motto and how the Pride planning for 2022 will continue can be found in the article Queer, proud and visible!
