Fantasypride Cologne 2025
- TBA
- Cologne
Fantasypride Cologne is Europe's first gay and lesbian theme day at an amusement park. Since it began over a decade ago, the event has been hosted at Phantasialand in Brühl, near Cologne【548651314764090†L44-L47】. This park normally draws families and thrill‑seekers, but when Fantasypride rolls around it becomes a meeting place for the queer community. Queer visitors and their friends take over the rides and attractions for a full day and turn the park into a rainbow party. According to guides, people come from all over to enjoy rollercoasters, drag shows, wet‑t‑shirt contests and other performances【551514563320297†L69-L78】.
Fantasypride is more than just a party on rides. The day programme usually includes live shows and entertainment around the park, and in the evening there is a big stage show followed by an after‑party. The after‑party is held in Wuze Town at Phantasialand, where DJs spin pop, chart hits and house music on multiple floors until early morning hours【551514563320297†L69-L78】. Past editions have also featured special theme areas, dance contests and charity collections for queer organisations. Because the park is closed to regular guests during Fantasypride, visitors can experience the attractions without long queues and share the fun with other queer people and allies.
The festival has a community focus as well. For many attendees it is an opportunity to meet old friends, make new ones and show visibility in a relaxed setting. At information stands you can find local lgbtq+Q+ groups and initiatives. The long‑running nature of the event has made it an institution in the region; event listings describe it as Germany’s first gay and lesbian theme park day【548651314764090†L44-L47】. Funds raised during the day support local organisations.
The next Fantasypride is expected to return in 2025, but as of now the organisers have not announced an exact date【548651314764090†L20-L23】. Fantasypride normally takes place towards the end of summer, often in September, so travellers planning a trip should keep an eye on announcements from the organisers. The event is held at Phantasialand, Berggeiststraße 31‑41 in Brühl【548651314764090†L23-L24】.
