Karneval Fasching Celebrations in the United States 2017-2018

Do you want to celebrate Karneval Fasching like a German?
Fasching (in the South) and Karneval (in the North) are a time of celebration of food and fun in the time before the austerity of Lent. Costumes and Masks are meant to scare away evil spirits. Parades and dancing add to the fun.
The celebration begins on November 11, the beginning of the 5th Season, when the Karneval Prinz and court are elected. Often there are Karneval Parties, Balls and Gala events.
The merriment kicks into high gear the Thursday before Ash Wednesday… and continues until Faschnachtdienstag (Shrove Tuesday) the night before Ash Wednesday, and the beginning of Lent.

Awesome website, German Girl, keep up the good work! We enjoyed Fasnet in Southern Germany, Fasching in Central Germany, and Carnival in Cologne as well. Great culture, great fun! I just want to let you and your followers know about Fasching near D.C. The event is actually held in the D.C. suburb of Fairfax, Virginia. It is put on by the Saegerbund, the German singing society there. Please check out their website: http://saengerbund.org/ for those near Washington, D.C. and interested. Helau, Alaaf, Ahaa to all!
Thanks! I will add this to the list!
