What can be found at the fetish festivals?
Surely, the best thing these celebrations offer is that in here every person may find entertainment in the soul. In different locations, in various circles, around the clock.
Visual
The colorful variety of performances from kink themed cabaret to most genuine erotic opera can be found to spend an evening. The spectators will enjoy all kinds of extravaganza contests with compelling shows, spectacles and acts showcasing talents open to a wide range of creativity such as even comedians or magicians. Everyone has a chance to be a crowd winner and receive amazing prizes.
Gratitude
A special place is given to the elections and awards to recognize the people who made a valuable contribution to the flourishing of the scene, and the companies that have supported the development of the industry.
The objective is to motivate enthusiasts and remove the stigma accompanying fetish, to achieve a greater acceptance within society. Each year many porn actors, associations, and media are finding their way to the festival stages to make a name.
Discovering
Here is also a great opportunity to learn and discuss kinky stuff at the educational sessions. Masterclasses provide all sorts of knowledge, for example training in the making of latex or using new specific things for the first time. No one won’t be disappointed through the solid support of professionals and experienced practitioners in their field.
Shopping
An attractive abundance of marketplaces and garage sales will help anyone to show their kinky side with many wearable arts. From unique rubber, neoprene staff to some cuts at the crossing between seductive fetish and street fashion, sexy designs on t-shirts and more.
BDSM innovative toys, offering a wide selection of styles in many materials. Nylon, vinyl and silicone gear, no matter for beginner or skilled player, are always the right fit for.
Classic uniform for party or custom items with a personal touch. Chastity and bondage devices, stainless steel’s jewelry and whatever hardcore accessories created for any crazy fantasies.
Movement
Apart from the fact that almost all festivals offer free shuttle services between the host hotels and parties, the feature prominently is a special tour. A relaxed time among like-minded companies, combined with a remarkable sightseeing bus tour. Or boat cruise with cool music — where else can take a part in such a dressed up adventure?
Art
There are lots and lots of artists and extremely talented people who enrich and inspire the community with their works. Fetish festivals are always a good platform for them. For example as an opportunity for presentations of films or video-projects with focus on supporting the rainbow society and fetish scene at all. Among other activities — art and photo exhibitions exploring the erotic and the explicit.
This all invites the audience to immerse in worlds where the curtain comes down for a moment to see the secrets acted out behind closed doors. Where the most instinctual and sexual images thrust into the bright lights by suggesting probing the intimacy, submission, the nature of power or coercion to question about structures of base desires and impulses.
Play
The playgrounds usually represent a complex or separate themed zones such as mirror rooms, equipped space for bondage, anonymous boxes, areas complete with the various constructions for practices, and much more.
A place with limited capacity or a big maze is always reduced to the alluring composition of lighting and decor. Everything aims at creating a distinct ambience for the deeper dive into the fetish realm.
