Insheim — Wine village between Landau and Bad Bergzabern

Insheim is a wine-growing community with around 1,600 inhabitants in the VG Herxheim, located between Landau in der Pfalz and Bad Bergzabern. Its position on the Südliche Weinstraße shapes its economic and social life. During Fasching, this quiet wine village transforms into a carnival stronghold, attracting visitors from the entire Bergzaberner Land.

The parade forms up from midday on Hutbrunnenstraße. Precisely at 1:11 PM, the procession begins, taking the route Hauptstraße – Zeppelinstraße – Kettelerstraße. Along the route, Insheim residents and visitors from surrounding areas line the streets. Residents serve wine, beer, and Palatinate specialties.

Floats and Walking Groups

Insheim clubs, local businesses, and guest clubs from the Bergzaberner Land form floats, walking groups, and music groups. Themed floats, dance troupes, and Guggenmusik bands from the region provide the musical accompaniment. The municipality of Insheim accepts registrations for parade participants.
