Heroes of the night: Like New York's firefighters, the incredible defeated

The parish Schwechat celebrated a colorful carnival festival on February 10, 2025, in which about 180 children clad with great costumes and had a lot of fun at various play stations that were built in the parish center. The scope in the basement, which was decorated as a magic forest, offered the little ones an ideal environment. In the meantime, older children revived the parish hall with a happy shouting and laughing, which made the entire event a pleasure for the participants, as Noen.at reported.
