MAD PRIDE

That's what it's all about

MAD PRIDE marches through the city with you and demonstrates for diversity and difference and against the right. Democracy needs you - also at the MAD PRIDE - exactly as you are! 
Boundless and proud, crazy, colorful and self-confident. Together we conquer the streets of Cologne against discrimination and exclusion of any kind. And we celebrate life: Make yourselves colorful. Bring what makes noise. We make noise and want to be heard.

That's why you have to come

This year we're trying something new and starting from Heumarkt in Cologne's city center! Accompanied by the TNT Brass Band Cologne, we will march through the city center to the Alte Feuerwache and there will be a pop-up performance by maiskind halfway through.

Pssst!

The MAD PRIDE will be followed by the Big Bääm - the final event of Sommerblut Kulturfestival 2025 with musical acts such as BUNTES HERZ, Pablonski Bader, Äh Nein! and TrommelWerk.
