Children's Carnival of the Hillesheim Carnival Association 1951 in the Markthalle on February 8, 2026
With the Children's Carnival on February 8, 2026, the Hillesheim Carnival Association 1951 e.V. concludes its main carnival weekend. The day before, the grand gala session with an adult program was the focus β on Sunday, the program is specifically aimed at children and their families. The combination of two days in the same venue makes the weekend a multi-generational carnival event.
Four dance groups shape the association's program life, and the children's and youth groups get their very own performance during the Children's Carnival. Colorful costumes, rehearsed choreographies, and a big stage β for the young dancers, performing in front of hundreds of spectators is a significant moment in their association's history. Parents, grandparents, and siblings fill the Markthalle particularly closely on this occasion.
Unlike the evening gala session, the Children's Carnival thrives on direct audience participation. Interactive choreographies, games, costume parades on stage, and competitions allow the young guests to get actively involved. Catering with child-friendly food and drinks β from hot chocolate and sweets to bratwurst β is a fixed part of the program and supports the family festival concept.
With the combination of the gala session and the Children's Carnival, the Hillesheim Carnival Association specifically caters to all age groups. This intergenerational program design is the foundation for the association's unbroken history since 1951: those who dance at the Children's Carnival as children often become active in the adult groups later and pass the tradition on to their own children. It is precisely this continuity that ensures the vitality of the Eifel carnival.
The Children's Carnival is designed as an afternoon-filling family event. Starting in the afternoon with the entrance of the dance groups, followed by several program blocks of dance, interactive elements, games, and catering breaks.
The exact hourly schedule will be announced by the association through its own channels and the Hillesheim event communication.
