Alzeyer Kinder- und Jugendfastnachtsumzug

The Alzeyer Kinder- und Jugendfastnachtsumzug is a distinct tradition in Alzey's carnival calendar. While the "main" carnival parade on Sunday reaches the entire audience, the children's parade on Altweiberdonnerstag is explicitly dedicated to children and youths.

1,200 to 1,300 Participants

With 1,200 to 1,300 participants, the children's parade is also impressive in terms of numbers. School classes, kindergarten groups, youth departments of carnival societies, sports clubs, and scout groups march in costume through the city center – each group with its own theme, own costumes, and own musical contributions.

Led by Karl-Heinz „Kalli” Gauch

The long-standing organizational leadership is in the hands of Karl-Heinz „Kalli” Gauch, an Alzey carnival institution. His commitment and experience ensure that the parade runs smoothly year after year and remains an unforgettable experience for the children.

Route and Assembly

Assembly from 9:45 AM in Ostdeutsche Straße, start at 10:11 AM. The route leads through Ostdeutsche Straße, Klosterstraße, Antoniterstraße, and Schlossgasse to the Wall and then to the Zentrum-Parkplatz. A manageable route that is easy for children to manage and at the same time leads through the most beautiful parts of the old town.

Narrenzelt Afterwards

Immediately afterwards, the Narrenzelt – traditionally set up in the Ostdeutsche Straße parking lot – invites you to dance, music, and celebrate together. This gives the children the opportunity to fully express their carnival energy.
