Sub生日快樂！同志們的驕傲街慶！Happy Bday, Sub! Pride festival of our own!

最近平淡的生活忽然被打亂了，導致網誌的更新也無法如期完成。
恰巧上個週六是漢薩街慶，心裡想著，既然同志遊行的稿已經拖了這麼久了，
不如就先發篇介紹這特別街慶的文章，剛好能夠搭上在醫院忙裡偷閒中修好的照片！

Sub慶祝三十歲生日！

Our nothing-happens-normal life was recently turned upside-down, which makes it also difficult to update this blog 100% on time.
Luckily, it was Hans-Sachs-Straßenfest last Saturday, so I think, my article for CSD has already delayed, why not just publish quickly a new article about this special event with the photos I already edited when I was in hospital?







漢薩街慶，德文全名為Hans-Sachs-Straßenfest，是1991年Sub（請見之前的網誌介紹）為了慶祝協會五歲生日而開始每年舉辦的同志街慶，日期固定在每年聖母升天節（八月十五）過後的星期六。漢薩街慶並非慕尼黑唯一的LGBT團體街慶，慕尼黑的同志活動高峰期自七月第一個星期六的女同志Angertor街慶開始，接踵而來的CSD同志遊行週，其中還有Pestalozzi街慶、 Klenze街慶、Maibaum慶典（時間點為五月）等等，最後以漢薩街慶作為Big Ending！

星期六的午後，大家開心地喝啤酒間談天說地。
A perfect Saturday afternoon with beer and gossips.

Hans-Sachs-Straßenfest (HSSF) started since 1991 to celebrate the fifth birthday of Sub (You can learn more from the former article). It's held annually on the Saturday after the Assumption (August 15th). It's not the only LGBT-Straßenfest in Munich. The highlight of Munich LGBT events starts from lesbian Angertor Straßenfest on the first Saturday of July, then there're CSD week, Pestalozzistraßenfest, Klenzestraßenfest, Maibaumfest (in May) etc., and then we have HSSF as the big ending!

德國街慶皆是越夜越美麗！
You need to stay long enough,

2000年開始，轉角延伸出去的Ickstatt街也被納入街慶範圍，也多了另一個跳舞空間；這得感謝Sub額外爭取的特殊許可，因為在德國依據法律規定，街慶只能在一條街上舉行。或許是因為參加人潮太過踴躍，2002年起，進場人數必須由保全管制在一萬人以內，以保障參與者的人身安全。

Since 2000, Ickstatt Street is included to HSSF, so there are more spaces to party; thanks to Sub, HSSF has a special permit to have two streets available, instead of one, which was legally set by German government. Maybe because it's too popular, since 2002, the number of participants needs to be regulated under 10,000, to ensure the safety of all visitors.

今年難得地看到了亞洲面孔的表演者！

身為同志夏季街慶的重頭戲之一，Sub今年透過這項慶典來慶祝它的三十歲生日，漢薩街慶也邁進到了第26個年頭，每一年除了有新的表演者及新的小吃攤外，更持續保持著其特殊傳統：下午一點歡樂時光準時開始、下午三點固定由Sub主管主持的開幕演說、晚間八點的玫瑰雨，以及晚間十一點二十五分的五分鐘華爾滋！

兩側民房所反射的彩色光芒，也是只有晚上才能體驗！
You can only enjoy these outstanding and colorful lights,
once you party along during the night!

As the big ending of LGBT summer street festivals, Sub celebrated its 30th birthday with HSSF this year, and HSSF has also come to its 26th life year. Every year there're something new, such as new performers or stands, but also old traditions: Happy beginning at 13, opening speech from the manager director of Sub at 15, rose-rain at 20 and five-minutes-waltz at 23:25!



下次若你有機會在這個時間點來到慕尼黑，
也別忘了跟著可愛的同志朋友們一起驕傲地慶祝喔！

Next time, if you have a chance to visit Munich in this time period, don't forget to celebrate proudly with all these cute people together on the Hans-Sachs-Straße!
