Parties
For many years, we organised the
COLOURcode
party at Pullermanns once a quarter.
Interest amongst members has been rather limited recently, so we have decided not to continue the series for the time being.
The 2026 dates were
27 February 2026
22 May 2026 (Cologne Fetish Pride)
Instead, we launched our new ‘fetish-only’ party
GEAR UP! at Club Z during Cologne Fetish Pride 2026. A second date is planned for the fourth quarter of this year. Details to follow.
Rheinfetisch has been organising its big fetish event in Cologne on the Whitsun weekend every year since 2008. Initially called Cologne Leather Pride, it was renamed
Cologne Fetish Pride> in 2011 .
Central event of the weekend was the
Mr. Fetish NRW> election on the Fetish Pride Boat. In addition, there was a variety of events organised by Rheinfetisch and its partners.
The next Cologne Fetish Pride is scheduled for 13 to 17 May 2027.
For the fifth time, Rheinfetisch 2026 organised the Cologne Pride Boat on the Saturday of Cologne CSD.
The MS RheinVision was sold out once again – and 600 guests had a fabulous time with our two DJs in perfect weather.
There’ll be quite some changes for next year. Save the date – and don’t make any plans for 3 July 2027.
Cologne Pride
With over 1 million people, the Cologne Pride is one of the largest of its kind in Europe. The demonstration and the three-day street festival are the highlights.
Rheinfetisch regularly takes part in the demonstration with a foot group.
The Cologne CSD street festival and demonstration took place from 3 to 5 July 2026.
Prides in North Rhine– Westphalia
Rheinfetisch is represented at other Prides in North Rhine-Westphalia together with fellow clubs or organisations.
This could be a joint stand at a street festival or a joint foot group at demonstrations.
In addition, members and the reigning Mr. Fetish NRW title holder represent the club and the fetish community at further Prides.
