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 during a round trip on the Rhine. In addition, there is a variety of events organised by Rheinfetisch and its partners.
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.
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.
Rheinfetisch Summer BBQ
