Rainbow Festival Cologne

The 2025 edition traditionally took place on the last Saturday in June as part of the ColognePride week. The concept remained well-proven: Sunshine Stage for pop and schlager, Aqua Stage for EDM and house.

With pumping hits, sing-along classics, and drag show interludes, the approximately 30,000 guests celebrated on the Regatta Island of Fühlinger See. The festival once again positioned itself as a celebratory extension of the politically charged CSD demonstration, bringing together both the mainstream crowd and the queer community in a shared experience.
