In the organizer's words:

The Garde der Garstigen and [ku:] invite you to the Schangelei Summer Festival: Welcome to the “GALA IM DRECK” at the construction trailer park!
On August 15, the Wagenburg will be transformed into a dazzling celebration of subculture. With a vibrant stage program featuring queer performances, booths run by and featuring queer groups from Cologne, and creative activities, we’ll celebrate summer, life, and rebellion against the dreariness together.

Our food stalls and several (champagne) bars will take care of your culinary needs.

Look forward especially to the release of the first issue of “GARDE ILLUSTRIERT”—the flamboyant lifestyle magazine of the Garde der Garstigen—and to a queer wrestling show!

These groups will be there:
ku: - Space for Queer Self-Expression,
Garde der Garstigen—Cologne’s drag collective,
Sexworkers of Cologne
Queer Office at the Cologne University of Applied Sciences
Pride Soli Cologne

When: 4:00 p.m. – Open End
Where: “Wem gehört die Welt” construction trailer site (Krefelder Str. 115, S/U Hansaring)

Price information:

We operate on a solidarity principle. Buy the ticket that fits your budget. Purchasing a more expensive ticket makes it possible for someone else to buy a cheaper one—someone who otherwise might not be able to attend our event. The proceeds from a very expensive ticket also help us partially cover the expenses we incur for the event (e.g., technology, infrastructure, performers, etc.). We do not check this, and the ticket type is not indicated on the ticket itself.
