AHOI, BITCH 

Kölnchella is more than just a festival! Kölnchella is: camp, glamp, queer or even gay, slay, okay. ⚠️

This year, Kölnchella is transforming the Orangerie Theatre in Cologne's Südstadt district into the world's only ethically sound cruise ship: no engine, but a full cruise feeling! Because what's more camp than going on a queer cruise?! 🛟🌈🚢⚓️

Let yourself drift away in a sea of ​​live acts: from dreamy pop to sassy rap, drag extravaganzas, ballroom extravaganzas, and DJ sets that will have you shaking your ass. 🍑🪩

Plus, you can expect our MOB (Mall on Board) with design and fashion, tooth gems and tattoos, workshops and many more highlights. ✨

More information coming soon, either here or on our social media accounts at: @koelnchella 

Okay, now let's get down to serious business – we at Kölnchella have been organizing events by and for the queer community on a voluntary basis since 2022. Highlights have included our Icy Prom, our Kölnchalloween Drag Show, and the big summer festival in 2023 at the Orangerie Theater.

It's important to us to create a space where queer people feel comfortable. Especially in times like these, we need spaces to connect, celebrate queer art, or simply unwind. Sound good to you? Then get your ticket now and join us!

PS: We're not actually on a ship and there's no cruising area. 

Want to see how camp, glamp, and queer our last festival at the Orangerie Theater was? Got ya!
