Life is great, but it is even better in your favorite fetish gear. Darklands Belgium encourages visitors to explore their sexuality and develop a safe and sane interest for the many fetishes in our community.
The event is a collaboration of different groups, organizations, clubs and over 150 volunteers. The various tribes in the gay fetish community (Leather, rubber, army, skinhead, puppies, …) come together to create a unique spectacle of fetish brotherhood.
Darklands is a multi-day indoor fetish and leather festival. The main event location is at the old Antwerp docks, Waagnatie. Up to 5000 gay guys will dance and cruise all night in fetish wear at the main parties at night.
In the afternoon the festival location is open for entertainment, shopping, education at the indoor village. All major fetish brands have popup shops. There are workshops, shows and popup bars.
At night several XXL gay fetish parties take place. These parties are gay men only.
