Carnival Season in the Ortenau Region
12 February – 18 February 2026
During this week, the Ortenau region is entirely dedicated to Carnival.
The area is well known far beyond its borders for its large, atmospheric and lovingly designed parades. Tradition, music, masks and true craftsmanship – this is how Carnival has always been celebrated here.
Those who want to experience this special time will not encounter a staged show, but living tradition right in the heart of the villages.
Loud, colorful, warm-hearted – and precisely because of that, so special.
