Fête des Fools: Carnival joy unfolds in the Donau-Ries!
The carnival season has really picked up speed in the Donau-Ries district. After a colorful start on January 9th in Rain and Genderkingen, there are numerous big events on the program in the coming weeks. On January 10th, the Prince's Ball was celebrated in Monheim and Bäumeheim, and the anticipation of further great events makes hearts beat faster. The [Augsburger Allgemeine](https://www.augsburger- Allgemeine.de/noerdlingen/faschingszeit-im-donau-ries-diese- events-there-es-im-landkreis-113151137) reports on an impressive list of activities that await carnival fans in the region.
In Amerdingen, the party fun starts on January 10th with a court ball, followed by a senior carnival on January 11th. The highlight days are January 16th and 17th, when a guard show as well as the traditional fool's tree displays and fairs take place. Children's carnival is celebrated on February 17th. In Asbach-Bäumenheim there are various festivals on the program, such as the children's ball on February 7th or the carnival party on February 13th.
Colorful parades and celebrations in Donau-Ries
Carnival activities in Donauwörth are particularly exciting, with a carnival parade moving through the city center on January 24th, followed by a carnival party on January 30th. In addition, numerous children's events are offered in various facilities, which ensure that children's eyes shine.
Wallerstein, Harburg and other places in the region have also done their best to delight visitors with colorful carnival spirit. The traditional parades in the towns and villages attract not only the locals but also many visitors from the surrounding area. Carnival in Bavaria is not only celebrated in large cities, but is also lively in many small communities. As br.de reports, there are a large number of planned parades this year that are accompanied by festive and creative motifs.
Security concepts and cancellations
Despite the joy of the colorful hustle and bustle, there is a certain degree of caution. Following several recent headline-grabbing incidents, many cities in the region have tightened initial security measures. In some larger cities such as Munich and Aschaffenburg, large events and carnival parades were canceled as a precaution to take the tense security situation into account.
Despite these restrictions, the carnival season remains an important part of the culture and joy of life for the people of Bavaria. With this in mind, the organizers and celebrants are looking forward to unforgettable days full of colorful costumes, cheerful music and an exuberant atmosphere in the Donau-Ries in the coming weeks.
