BearPride Cologne
BearPride Cologne is the big bear meeting in the German-speaking world. For more than 30 years, the Bartmänner Köln have been bringing bears, cubs and admirers from Germany and abroad to the city in November. The former Cologne Bear Night has turned into a whole week.
The program starts with a warm welcome and a pub quiz, after which the candidates introduce themselves for the election to Mr Bear Germany. On Friday there is the BearMarket in Café Bach during the day, in the evening the Super Trouper Bear Party with the election. On Saturday there is a rally, a Bear Dinner and the PIPE as the party of the weekend. On Sunday the week ends with a brunch.
If you are arriving, it is best to stay in the city centre. The towns are close to each other, and the Belgian Quarter and the Old Town are within easy walking distance.
