Schweinfurt Carnival Parade

The Schweinfurt Carnival Parade 2025 once again confirmed its status as the second-largest carnival parade in Mainfranken. Organized by the Erste Schweinfurter Karnevalsgesellschaft (ESKAGE), the procession of floats, marching bands, and walking groups paraded from Spitalseeplatz through the city center to Marktplatz. Around 25,000 carnival-goers lined the route. Unlike in 2026, the 2025 parade was broadcast on regional television. With candy rain, Guggenmusik, and a jubilant atmosphere, the parade was once again the jester's highlight of the Schweinfurt carnival season.
