On Friday, August 6, 2010, the traditional and always fantastic Pink Flamingo™ will occur at the Stadionbad at the Sportpark Muengersdorf, the location of the Cologne Gay Games swimming competition. Pink Flamingo™ is an IGLA and Gay Games tradition, combining outrageous costumes, music, dance and synchronized swimming with humor and satire, to make for an exciting, fun and somewhat revealing evening.
All aquatics participants receive free entry to the event. A limited number of tickets are available for the general public. Tickets to Pink Flamingo™ at the last three Gay Games have sold out, so get your ticket early.
