There is a new world record for the "highest free-floating dinner" ever held. On April 9, 2025, the experience provider "mydays" and the event concept "Dinner in the Sky" invited guests to Cologne’s Mediapark for this spectacular record attempt. The world record was finally achieved at a height of over 55 meters. For the first time, aerial acrobatics were also part of the extraordinary dinner event. From May 23, guests can also enjoy the new "Show Dinner in the Sky" experience in several German cities.
On April 9, 2025, mydays and Dinner in the Sky set a new world record in the category "The highest free-floating dinner". The event was supervised by the RID Record Institute for Germany. The EventMasterBook.de editorial team was there live on site when the already impressive dinner experience was complemented by an artistic live show component high up in the air. The innovative event concept "Show Dinner in the Sky" will soon be offered in four German cities. Here’s how the premiere in Cologne went:
A total of 32 guests, together with the dinner platform and a live kitchen team, were lifted by crane to a height of 55.35 meters, where they were able to enjoy not only a fantastic view of Cologne, but also a brilliant aerial acrobatics performance and an exquisite gourmet dinner by star chef Tristan Brandt, who was also on board.
The RID Record Institute for Germany verified, documented, and confirmed the new world record live on-site. The official certification and presentation of the certificate to mydays CEO Christian Nau took place right after the height was measured—just before the main course of the dinner was served.
The dinner set-up impressed with a rotating platform at a lofty height, which was equipped with eight separate guest tables (seating a total of 32 guests) and a kitchen in the middle. The combination of floating gastronomy, live acrobatics, technical innovation and refined culinary artistry made the dinner event a truly unique experience.
The event concept "Dinner in the Sky" is a globally celebrated dinner experience with locations in Dubai, Los Angeles, and Sydney. At the world record event on April 9, 2025, mydays combined the premium experience for the first time with a special acrobatics show—at a record-breaking height of over 55 meters.
Following its successful premiere in Cologne’s Mediapark, the new concept "Show Dinner in the Sky" is now going on tour across Germany. Starting May 23, 2025, the event will be hosted in Hamburg, Stuttgart, Mannheim, and once again in Cologne. The show dinner with aerial acrobatics will be available exclusively via mydays for the opening in each city, followed by additional dates for the classic Dinner in the Sky.
Anyone coming to Germany in the next few weeks should not miss this experience. More details can be found at mydays.de Show Dinner in the Sky.
