Germany plans big bash

Dusseldorf, Germany, is planning a celebration in July that blends the best of Oktoberfest and Pride.

The nine-day event, expected to draw crowds larger than Munich’s annual Oktoberfest, is the Largest Faire on the Rhine.

For the past 20 years, the first Monday of the celebration has been known as Pink Monday, a celebration of the LGBT community.

“Picture Oktoberfest with beer tents and treats, a temporary amusement park with huge modern rides that rival those at six flags … then add 50,000 homosexuals on a mission to have a good time,” read a statement from the Dusseldorf Marketing and Tourism Bureau.

The festival takes place  July 17-25, about a week prior to the start of the Gay Games in Cologne.
