It’s almost Fasching time! Get out your costume, shine up your dance shoes, start dreaming about delicious sauerkraut, pork roast, spätzle (and more) and get ready for our first Dinner/Dance of 2026! We are so excited to get back in the swing of things and I have to admit Fasching is my FAVORITE dance of the year!
Fasching is a traditional festival in Germany to mark the period before Lent. Think Mardi Gras but German style! Carnival season is a time of parades, elaborate costumes, masked balls and street parties that culminates on Shrove Tuesday.
Fasching can also be traced back into pagan times. It started as an event to drive out the winter and the ghosts of darkness who had begun to lose their powers as the sun started to warm up in springtime.
So let’s celebrate before Lent and drive out winter!
~Delicious food 5-6:30
~Excellent German beverages all evening
~Wonderful music with the Enriettis 6:00-?
~Fun costume parade and contest (with prizes!)
~Viel Gemütlichkeit (lots of friendly good cheer)
All are welcome at this fun family friendly event!
We look forward to seeing you soon!
