Out in Leather
Copenhagen 2009 World Outgames is proud to welcome men and women from the leather, fetish and BDSM communities around the world to an amazing and unique celebration.
Recognizing the importance of leather and fetish culture as an integral part of the LGBT community, World Outgames presents Out in Leather with activities especially for leather, fetish and BDSM devotees. All events have a strict dress code!
Program
The preliminary program for Out in Leather includes:
Leather party
The grand leather party takes place at Garderhøj Fortet, a 19th century underground fortress in the outskirts of Copenhagen. It’s an amazing place with bars, play areas, dance floors, lounges, barbecue and more. With an innovative layout, the party will be truly unique.
The party is also the frame of the competition with gold, silver and bronze medals for winners of the categories of 1. Mr. Leather, 2. Mr. Slave and 3. Ms Leather/slave. Each competitor will make a 3-minute presentation.
Free shuttle busses to the fortress and back will drive all night from Copenhagen City Hall Square.
BBQ at the beach
Copenhagen has some very nice beaches within easy reach of the city centre. A BBQ at the beach for the leather festival participants will be organised together with the bear programme.
Social events at SLM Copenhagen
As a participant in Out in Leather you have free access to Scandinavia’s largest leather club, SLM Copenhagen, which will be hosting a series of more intimate parties with various fetish/BDSM themes.
As a special event, we are proud to present the trend-setting and innovative fetish party from Amsterdam:
Wasteland – “probably the wildest party on earth”
Wasteland brings the underground fetish scene into the open in a climate of tolerance and acceptance for the fetish culture. Wasteland is the place for everybody - straights, gays and bisexuals. An adult playground where you can discover and experience your fetish fantasies. A place where you can be who you really want to be. Without prejudices. With spectacular shows combining Dance with Circus, Theatre, Erotica and Fashion together and extravagantly dressed visitors; the setting becomes surreal and wild. In Amsterdam it attracts 2000 – 3000 visitors twice a year.
See the preliminary program.
Organisation
Out in Leather is organised in collaboration with Scandinavian Leather Men Copenhagen (SLM Copenhagen). Wasteland is presented in collaboration with Vault Events in Amsterdam.
