40. Bremer Karneval: Eröffnung und Umzug

In the organizer's words:

The opening performance at 12 noon on the market square kicks off the colorful hustle and bustle of the 40th Bremen
carnival. Artists from samba, masquerade and theater present the motto "Uns blüht was" in an imaginative performance. At 12:20 pm , the colorful parade then moves from the market square to the Sielwall and transforms the streets into a vibrant stage.

Experience the colorful and unique Bremen Carnival one last time! For the 40th and final time, Bremen is transformed into a colorful festival full of samba, masks and joie de vivre. Under the motto "Uns blüht was", over 80 groups from different countries will showcase their art - from rousing samba rhythms and imaginative masquerades to acrobatics, dance and street theater. Be inspired by bright colors, rousing sounds and inspiring messages. An opening ceremony on the market square, a parade from there to the Sielwall and much more are planned. There are currently not enough funds to realize the carnival, so the team is dependent on donations.

The challenges for the volunteer team have increased significantly in recent years - higher costs, more bureaucracy and the need for a comprehensive digital reorganization exceed the capacities of the small team. After 39 years of passion and commitment, the organizers are therefore letting go of the carnival.
