Annual Festival Happening in Wermelkirchen, 2023

Wermelskirchen's Carnival Season Returns with a Colorful Program

After a year's hiatus due to the uncertain situation, the town of Wermelskirchen in the Bergisches Land is gearing up for its vibrant carnival season. Known as the heartland of carnival in western Germany, Wermelskirchen offers a more quiet and civilized celebration compared to the grand parades in Cologne and Düsseldorf.

The carnival festivities will primarily take place in Dabringhausen, with many activities happening in and around the city hall, market square, and various pubs. The "Warm-Up" party on 04.02.2023 marks the unofficial kick-off of the carnival season, followed by a Children's carnival event on 12.02.2023.

The highlight of the carnival season is undoubtedly the Rosenmontag parade, which will take place in Dabringhausen on 20.02.2023. Advance tickets are available for the "Among Ourselves" event on 18.02., serving as direct preparation for the street parade on 20.02.

The Dreigestirn (Prince Roger Rehbold, Farmer Holger Schüller, and Maiden Frieda Wilfried Frowein) will reign this year, after their plans were delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The town's carnival society has been planning the 2023 carnival season with enthusiasm.

However, it's important to note that face paint can cause allergies, buttons and ribbons on children's costumes can cause injuries, and small children should not be left unattended in crowds during carnival. The carnival enthusiasts of Wermelskirchen urge everyone to pay attention to responsible behavior, hygiene, and distances during the carnival season.

Altweiberfastnacht is celebrated in Wermelskirchen on 16.02.2023, and an "Among Ourselves" gala evening is scheduled for the same day. The town's carnival program is filled with entertaining events, making Wermelskirchen a must-visit destination for carnival enthusiasts.

Despite the lack of specific information about the individuals who form the Dreigestirn in Wermelskirchen this year, the town's carnival society is looking forward to a successful and enjoyable carnival season. So, mark your calendars and get ready to experience the colorful and entertaining carnival festivities in Wermelskirchen.
