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.
This year, we set sail on MS RheinVision on
5 July 2025
Tickets are available in our TICKETSHOP>.
