This carnival season, more than 147,000 visitors are celebrating exuberantly in the venues of Koelncongress.
How time flies: On January 10, 2025, this year's Dreigestirn (triumvirate) was officially proclaimed in the Gürzenich, and in just over a week, the street carnival will kick off on Weiberfastnacht.
And the atmosphere in the Koelncongress venues couldn’t be better! Despite the relatively short season, countless carnival revellers are once again dancing and celebrating peacefully in the Gürzenich, in the Theater am Tanzbrunnen (including open-air events), in the Flora, as well as in the Congress-Saal und im Kristallsaal of Koelnmesse.
Under this year’s motto, FasteLOVEnd – Wenn Dräum widder blöhe ("Carnival Love – When Dreams Bloom Again"), a total of 112 carnival events with around 147,000 visitors will take place in the festively decorated venues. In the Gürzenich alone, around 53,000 visitors are expected to attend a total of 40 carniaval events - with five days featuring two sessions per day!
Koelncongress wishes you lots of fun and joyful celebrations! Kölle Alaaf!
