Children's Carnival on Feb 7th and Prunksitzungen on Feb 13th and 14th, 2026 in the Mehrzweckhalle Fischbach near Dahn
The Prunksitzungen of FC Felsenland Fischbach are among the traditional carnival events in the Dahn Felsenland. The venue is the Mehrzweckhalle Fischbach near Dahn, which becomes the center of carnival activity during the February days. The club FC Felsenland Fischbach is responsible for the organization and provides its own performers and a dance troupe.
The Fischbach carnival campaign 2026 kicks off on Saturday, February 7, 2026, with the Kinderfasching (Children's Carnival) – a family event with age-appropriate programs, dance performances by youth troupes, games, and communal swaying (Schunkeln). A week later, on Friday and Saturday, February 13th and 14th, 2026, the grand Prunksitzungen follow with the classic structure: satirical speeches (Büttenreden) in the Palatinate dialect, dance troupes with show and march dances, musical contributions, show acts, and communal singing.
The Palatinate hall carnival (Saalfastnacht) is strongly influenced by dialect. Satirical speeches (Büttenreden) in the Palatinate dialect are the centerpiece; they satirically address local issues, municipal politics, club life, and societal peculiarities. Dance troupes with their colorful uniforms, show dances, and live music complete the program. Unlike the professionalized sessions in large Rhenish cities, the Palatinate version is strongly volunteer- and club-based.
