40. Bremer Karneval: Straßenkarneval

In the organizer's words:

The Bremen Carnival street carnival starts at 13:30 in the Ostertor district and around Pauls Kloster. It will be a colorful and varied program in which samba groups, dance and acrobatic ensembles, stilt artists and many other walking acts will enchant Bremen. A varied program awaits you on four stages - at Goetheplatz, Ulrichsplatz, Sielwall and Paulskloster. There will also be six other locations in the district. The street carnival ends at 4.45 pm with a grand finale on the stage at Ulrichsplatz with all the groups. The whole program is free and for everyone.

Experience the colorful and unique Bremen Carnival one last time! For the 40th and final time, Bremen will be 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.
