Posted on: Tuesday, March 5, 2024

The Strasbourg Carnival awaits young and old alike on Sunday 24 March 2024 from 3 pm to 6 pm. It's a day of celebration that is on the program of the Alsatian capital, to say goodbye to winter and hello to spring! Theme of the 2024 edition: Let's shake ourselves up and chase away winter!

As every year, a large cavalcade will take place in the city centre. 

Traditionally the last in the region, the Strasbourg Carnival invites young and old to gather in the streets to chase away the cold and welcome the sunny days. Every year, the procession brings together many local structures invited to parade for the occasion. 

The Carnival 2024 procession will leave on March 24, 2024 at 3:11 p.m. and will pass through several streets in the city center (about 2km). A colorful, original and musical show not to be missed!

Rolling or flying objects, costumed characters on foot and catchy music, the procession is dynamic and creative for this new edition.
