The Schwule Sau is a project in the northern part of Hanover. Queer people and groups organise lavish parties and elaborately staged bar evenings here for their own enjoyment and that of the community. The programme also includes concerts, theatre performances, lectures, cake dinners and more.The Schwule Sau is not just for gays. It's a space for everyone. Everyone should feel comfortable here! Whether gay, lesbian, bi, inter, queer, straight, man, trans, woman, whatever, in between or asexual. Come on over!
From exciting hands-on activities, musical presentations and performances by children to creative, educational and informative offers and lots of live music, there is something for everyone.
From 2 to 16 July 2026, the Great Garden in Hanover will once again be transformed into an enchanting stage for the Small Festival in the Great Garden.
