We went out for a beer, totally unaware of the local meaning of the date&#8230; and it was <strong>one of the best parties of my life<\/strong>, definitely. What we loved was that the streets and pubs were full of people at every age &#8211; we partied together with people in their 20s, 30s and 60s, it really didn&#8217;t matter, and <strong>everybody was buying multiple beers and giving them away to strangers<\/strong> &#8211; that was really cool! Since then, I&#8217;ve been to the German carnival twice and it&#8217;s always a lot of unpretentious fun :)<\/p>\n<p>The main day of the German carnival is <strong>Rosenmontag (Rose Monday)<\/strong>, with the grande parade and funny costumes.\u00a0300,000 bunches of flowers are being thrown out to the spectactators, and sweets are given away, too. Germans take their carnival seriously: there are 180 Carnival societies organizing\u00a0600 public events, balls and processions in Cologne Carnival.<\/p>\n<h4>When is the Carnival in Cologne celebrated?<\/h4>\n<p>There will be fantastic celebrations on 11th November &#8211; the magical 11.11, so if you travel to Cologne in that period, don&#8217;t miss it!<\/p>\n<p>The main Carnival in Cologne will be held from <strong>16th \u2013 22nd February 2023<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>7.
