What is Narrensitzung?

Join in the craziness of Mardi Gras German Style at Narrensitzung – held in January each year. This event, called Narrensitzung or session of fools and jesters, will feature an evening of fun, humor, merry making, sings-alongs and music and dance.

Mardi Gras is a Christian holiday and popular cultural phenomenon that dates back thousands of years to pagan spring and fertility rites. Also known as Carnival or Carnaval, it’s celebrated in many countries around the world—mainly those with large Roman Catholic populations—on the day before the religious season of Lent begins. Brazil, Venice and New Orleans play host to some of the holiday’s most famous public festivities, drawing thousands of tourists and revelers every year.
