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 is the
Mr. Fetish NRW> election on the Fetish Pride Boat. In addition, there is a variety of events organised by Rheinfetisch and its partners.
The next Cologne Fetish Pride is scheduled for 21 to 25 May 2026.
As Cologne Fetish Pride could not take place in 2022, Rheinfetisch organised the Cologne Pride Boat for Cologne Pride instead. The boat was a huge success, so that Rheinfetisch decided to have the boat sail again in 2023 and 2024.
In 2025, we changed ship to the smaller, but more suitable MS RheinVision – an had an absolute blast with 600 guests on the sold out boat.
The Cologne Pride Boat has already been booked for 4 July 2026.
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.
Since 2024, Rheinfetisch is present as part of the Fetisch–Netzwerk NRW with a stand at the street festival and a joint foot group for the demonstration.
The Cologne Pride street festival is scheduled for 3 to 5 July 2026.
Prides in North Rhine– Westphalia
Rheinfetisch is represented at other Prides in North Rhine-Westphalia as part of the Fetisch Netzwerk NRW.
This could be a joint stand at a street festival or a joint running group at demonstrations.
In addition, members and the reigning Mr. Fetish NRW title holder represent the club and the fetish community at further Prides.
