Hey you! Yes, you! What are you doing on Saturday, the 24th of May this year?
Because if you are anywhere else but the St. Pölten Pride Parade, your Bundesdaddy, Alexander van der Bellen himself, will be very very sad. And you don't want good ol' Sascha to be sad, don't you? Right. Of course not. So get your ass on the train if you are not from Austria's most underrated Landeshauptstadt and join the Parade!
St. Pölten Pride: Saturday, 24.5.2025
Parade starts: Domplatz, 16:00h
After the parade, there will music acts and more at Domplatz, starting at 19:00h
And there will be a Clubbing-Party at Cinema Paradiso (Rathausplatz St. Pölten), starting at 22:00h.
And leading up to the parade will be several events.
Again, the event is organized by the very VERY dedicated Verein St. Pride. They have done an astonishing job, with very limited resources compared to larger, more established pride events in the last few years. (Personally I have been a member of St. Pride for several years but not directly involved in the organization of the events - that is an INCREDIBLE amount of volunteer work and I admire the orga team deeply!!!!)
Of course, way more volunteers are still needed for an event like the St. Pölten Pride. If you want to help out, you can sign up here - thank you so much!!!!
Lastly, if you are unsure about attending, because you have no one to go with and don't want to be alone MESSAGE ME! I have been in that situation, trust me. I know it feels awkward. If you want to, you can either come as my buddy, or if several people message me, maybe we can organize a group.
(Just know that I will be volunteering for a time and won't be able to like hang out with you the entire time probably - but hey you could volunteer, too - that would also be a GREAT opportunity to make connections!!!)
