Overview

  • The municipal coordinating office labels the funding as a Fehlbedarfsfinanzierung and expects the final subsidy amount after the event concludes.
  • Organizers cite a drop in corporate sponsorship coupled with surging protection expenses under an elevated threat assessment.
  • Munich police will deploy 750 officers and install anti-vehicle barriers along the 3.5 km parade route to safeguard participants.
  • MVG will revise timetables, reroute tram lines 17, 18, 19, 21 plus bus lines 52, 62 and 132 on June 28 to ensure smooth transit around the festivities.
  • The June 28–29 CSD programme features a 200-group parade, community stages at Marienplatz and Kaufingerstraße, and street festival attractions including drag shows and DJs.
