Mainz Fastnacht Parade

One of Germany's three carnival capitals (alongside Cologne and Düsseldorf), Mainz stages its Fastnacht Parade on the Monday before Shrove Tuesday. Let yourself be swept away by the masquerade and admire the uniforms in the traditional colours of the city.

Numerous stalls selling the famous local wine help to get celebrants into the party mood, the atmosphere is fantastic and a great carnival experience is guaranteed.

Around 8000 participants form orchestral carnival groups to march through the picturesque inner city. Come early, secure some space and, when the last lorry leaves the narrow streets, make your way to one of the local pubs for post-carnival celebrations.
