Cologne Pride, the supporting program for Cologne's Christopher Street Day (CSD) starts (as usual, two weeks before the main weekend) on the 23rd June.
The main weekend with the CSD Street Festival in the Cologne Old Town starts on the 6th July and ends on the 8th July. Traditionally, the Cologne CSD Parade treks through the inner city on Sunday, so for 2012 that means the 8th July.
