We’re excited to announce something new, organized in collaboration with our friends in Slovakia and the new Mr. Fetish Europe 2026!
If you don’t have plans for the Christmas season yet, come join us in Bratislava for the first Visegrad Fetish Forum, taking place from December 12th to 14th.

Visegrad Fetish Forum is an initiative to connect activists, friends, and allies from the fetish community — and all like-minded individuals — to build meaningful relationships, discuss pressing issues, and most importantly, support one another.

While the LGBTQ+ community continues to face growing threats across the V4 countries, a global trend has also emerged: fetish communities are increasingly being excluded from PRIDE parades, LGBTQ+ spaces, and community centres.

This year, we witnessed significant challenges — from the Hungarian government’s ban on PRIDE events, which sparked a powerful protest of over 200,000 people (including many from the fetish community) standing together against oppression, to Slovakia, where constitutional changes restricting gender identity have further endangered LGBTQ+ rights. There, too, the fetish community fought hard to remain visible and included in the Bratislava PRIDE parade.

Now is the time to come together — to share experiences, exchange ideas, and explore how we can best support each other in these changing times.

But it’s not all serious! It’s also the holiday season, and we plan to celebrate it in style.
Join us for a festive weekend: visit the Christmas Market, enjoy a cup (or two) of Glühwein, cheer on the WORLDFETISH SHOW Contest by SLFC, and dance the night away at the techno afterparty!
