Carnival season in Cologne

Cologne Carnival has returned

Puppet Carnival-parade in Cologne: Shrove Monday 2021

The Karneval in Cologne, the fifth season of the year, started as a celebration of the new season in the Middle Ages with wine and song. Now, the entire city of Cologne dress up in the wackiest of costumes and let loose to sing and dance their heart out. Parties occur on the streets, public squares, restaurants and pubs, with music blasting on every corner. This year, you will witness Rose Monday, Ghost Parade, Ash Wednesday and more! Don’t miss out on all the fun at the Carnival of the year! #k
