Get ready to laugh, sing, and celebrate! Mainz is gearing up for its 70th annual television carnival, a beloved tradition that brings joy and satire to screens across the region. This year promises to be extra special, with current carnival stars paying homage to the legends who paved the way.
A Night of Legends
The theme of this year's carnival is a tribute to the icons of Mainz's past. Expect to see familiar faces embodying beloved characters, bringing a nostalgic charm to the festivities. The event, broadcast live from a magnificent castle, promises a visual spectacle alongside the witty performances.
One performance that's already generating buzz is Katharina Greule's. Stepping into the role of an educator, she's set to deliver what's being hailed as the best political contribution of the evening. Carnival is known for its sharp satire, and Greule's segment seems poised to continue that tradition.
Weiberfastnacht Takes Over
But the carnival spirit isn't confined to the television screen. The streets of Cologne, Düsseldorf, and Mainz are already alive with revelry! As the clock struck 11:11, the street carnival officially began, marking the start of Weiberfastnacht. This "Women's Carnival Day" sees women traditionally taking control, adding a playful twist to the celebrations.
