Kick-off to Carnival Week in the Ahrtal
The Oberbreisig Carnival Parade holds a special place in the Rhenish Carnival events of the Ahrweiler district because it takes place on Weiberfastnacht, thus opening the grand series of Carnival parades in the district. While in other places on this Thursday, the storming of town halls by the "Möhnen" (carnival women) is traditionally the focus, in Oberbreisig, the first major parade of the season already winds through the streets.
Colorful Floats and Walking Groups
Assembly is at 2:30 PM. The procession consists of floats from local carnival clubs, costumed walking groups, dance troupes, music bands, and schools. Elaborately designed themed floats humorously and satirically address local, regional, and national topics. The floats are accompanied by members who throw sweets, small gifts, and bouquets into the cheering crowd.
Oberbreisig — The Hillside Village of Bad Breisig
Oberbreisig is located above Bad Breisig on a slope by the Rhine and forms a distinct district with a lively club scene. The Carnival Society has been preserving this tradition for decades, ensuring that its Weiberfastnacht parade is a fixed date in the region's event calendar. The route leads through the main streets of the district.
Nestled in the Ahrtal Carnival Weekend
The Oberbreisig parade is part of a dense Carnival program in the Ahrweiler district. From Weiberfastnacht to Shrove Tuesday, jesters parade through the streets in Sinzig, Remagen, Bad Neuenahr, Adenau, and many other districts. Those who want to experience the complete Carnival program in the Ahrweiler district should start in Oberbreisig.
Family-Friendly and Rooted in Tradition
The Oberbreisig Carnival Parade is designed to be family-friendly. Children with bags and buckets stand by the roadside, catching "Kamelle" (sweets). Restaurants and clubhouses along the route open their doors to the revelers, and afterwards, the Carnival party takes place in the halls of the Carnival Society.
