Milkshake, Amsterdam’s leading gay festival returns to Rotterdam for an end of season indoor spectacular in Rotterdam this September.
Milkshake will take over Maassilo Rotterdam with all of their glitter, hysteria and love! Expect all of the Milkshake Family, Some familiar faces and some new ones.
The Festival
- Milkshake festival shows that entertainment, music choice, choice of clothing and status has nothing to do with sexuality. Life is just a party thanks to the great diversity of skin colors, religions, sexual preferences and male and female forms. The party aims to celebrate everything that is good about Rotterdam and bring back courtesy and friendship to the party scene. Thick, thin, small, large, gay, straight, trans, black or white: people are the salt of the earth and this is what Milkshake celebrates. Milkshake party starts at 10pm and continues through to 6am the following morning.
The venue
- Maassilo Rotterdam, is on Maashaven Zuidzijde 1-2 and has three large halls and a large basement space that connects each one. The venue has a capacity of 5000 visitors. The venue was a former grain silo and industrial complex which has been completely transformed into one of Rotterdam’s hottest entertainment venues. It overlooks the Maashaven port.

Gay Rotterdam
Rotterdam is home to some of the oldest gay bars in Europe. English is almost universally spoken and the scene is concentrated in the city center around Beurs station in the so-called ‘Pink Triangle’ from Churchillplein to Westblaak, and from Westblaak to Mauritsweg.
Start on Van Oldenbarneveltstraat at wine bar Nostra, then cross the street to experience the exhilarating vibe at Strano, where a young and mixed clientele party. Next door, you will find the Regenboog party café. At the cosmopolitan FERRY on Westblaak, you can enjoy cocktails and upbeat music. Loge ’90 is a fixture in Rotterdam’s gay nightlife and has the feel of a neighbourhood pub where everyone knows each other. And when it’s getting really late, then the fun is just getting started at Keerweer, and at Bonaparte on the Nieuwe Binnenweg, just outside the pink triangle.
