On 11/11 at 11:11 AM the famous Cologner Carnival begins in Cologne

11 is a magical number in the Rhineland. This is especially valid for Cologne. For the Cologner, the 11 looks like their beloved cathedral, the landmark of the city. Cologners love their carnival even more, which traditionally begins on 11/11 at 11:11 AM. The Cologner Carnival reflects a lot of the same values as the Gay Games.
This is reason enough for the Cologne Gay Games to sweeten the registration offer, 261 days before the Opening Ceremony, with a „Kamellschen“ (a sweet made for the carnival), a sweet registration offer!

Currently the registration fee is 125 euros*. But your fee can be a little bit lower. If you register on 11 November 2009**, we will grant you a discount of 11 euros! Enter the discount code “111109” during your registration, in the “voucher code” field you will find on the payment page at www.games-cologne.com.
