Among the many exhibitors, there are also 2 well-known fetish photographers who can skilfully stage you at the event.

2. Party
The ‘Dirty Bitch’ party takes place on Saturday evening and is a highlight of the Fetish Celebration Weekend. It offers an excessive night full of hedonistic pleasures on two dance floors. Here you can dance to the sounds of Berlin’s KitKat sound, EBM and the most iconic hits of the 80s. The party is known for its exuberant atmosphere and attracts guests from all over Europe who want to experience a night full of fun and freedom.
There is a dress code at the party, which is controlled by the two doorbitches! Your outfit should include vinyl, leather or latex. Alternatively, we also accept a sexy outfit that shows that you have put some thought into it! Street clothes are not welcome and will be rejected by the Doorbitch! Dress to impress is the order of the day for all participants!
Yes, tickets for the ‘Dirty Bitch’ party can be ordered separately on the festival website: www.fetish-celebration.com. Early booking is recommended as demand is high.
Two dance floors await you at the ‘Dirty Bitch’ party. The electro floor will be played by DJ Gerrit X https://soundcloud.com/gerrit_x and Maurice Mino https://soundcloud.com/mauricemino from Berlin, who regularly play at the KitKat Club. The second floor offers EBM and the best hits of the 80s, mixed by DJ Sintouch. https://soundcloud.com/sintouch_x
Yes, there is a playroom at the party, but we have found that the previous playroom was not used much. Dancing and flirting were clearly in the foreground during the party. We will therefore be offering a smaller playroom this year.
‘Consent is key’ means that only an explicit ‘yes’ counts as consent. At the Fetish Celebration Weekend, we place great value on mutual respect and clear communication. All participants must agree to what is allowed and what is not, both verbally and non-verbally. This is especially important in the BDSM, bondage and fetish community where consensuality is the basis for all interactions. If you feel uncomfortable or feel that boundaries have been crossed, our team is always available to help.
