Edition 2025 — Finished

Edition 2025 — Wasunger Karneval

The 489th Wasunger Karneval in 2025 continued the centuries-old tradition with a torchlight procession, kindergarten and school parade, the Grand Historical Festival Parade on Karneval Saturday, and the key handover at Maienluft Castle. As every year, thousands of spectators gathered along the parade route through Wasungen's town centre — the Karneval in Wasungen goes on in any weather, as the revellers' motto states.

More than 90 floats once again delighted thousands of spectators. The regional press reported that the Karneval in Wasungen takes place in any weather — tradition comes first.
