Life Ball

May 25, 2013

The star-studded AIDS-charity event is the most spectacular queer party in Europe and it raises close to a million euros each year for HIV projects. From Federal Chancellor to Hollywood star, they all come to watch the fashion show by one of the world’s super-designers on City Hall Square and to dance the night away. Tickets for the Life Ball are as precious as gold, but the fashion show is free for everyone.

Vienna Pride: June 11-16, 2013
Rainbow Parade: June 15, 2013

"Vienna Pride" and the "Rainbow Parade" are the highlights of the gay and lesbian year in Vienna.

The Rainbow Parade (on 15 June 2013) also makes its way along the Vienna Ringstrasse this year and is symbol of tolerance and equality. After the big closing rally, the partying continues in Vienna's clubs into the early hours of the morning.

Vienna in Black

October 24-27, 2013

The international leather and fetish meeting in Vienna does not just offer the obligatory leather and fetish party but a whole range of events. From dinner to leather brunch, bike tour and much more. Which weekend could be more appropriate for this event than the weekend closest to the Austrian National Holiday (26 October) when the Austrian military parades on Heldenplatz. www.lmc-vienna.at

Kreativball

January 31 & February 1, 2014

The Kreativball has come a long way since its low-profile beginnings. Now it is a must in Vienna's annual queer ball season. You have to be quick these days because this event for gays and lesbians and their friends sells out weeks in advance. www.clubkreativ.at

Rainbow Ball

February 22, 2014

Whoever said that Viennese Waltzes are only for straight people? The Rainbow Ball successfully conquered this heterosexual domain. Formal evening attire is strictly enforced at this gay and lesbian ballroom event. The ball is held in Parkhotel Schönbrunn. All waltzes and lots of fun! www.regenbogenball.at
