Mr Gay Europe goes to Cologne Pride

by | 14 February, 2019 | Old

This year’s Mr Gay Europe finale takes place during the fabulous Cologne Pride, in Cologne, Germany, from Monday 1 July until Monday 8 July.

Cologne’s gay and lesbian community is inviting visitors to come to Cologne Pride every summer from late June to early July.

In addition to countless political, cultural and party events, two elements will form the core of Cologne Pride: the CSD (Christopher Street Day) street festival in the city centre and the big CSD pride parade.

The Mr Gay Europe competition is not at all an old fashion beauty pageant, but that does not mean we don’t have a lot of fun competing, networking, doing workshops and getting to know each other!
