Carnival in Klagenfurt: handover of the city and fundraising campaign for children
There is currently a lively atmosphere in Klagenfurt as preparations for the upcoming carnival are in full swing. At the town hall, the city government welcomed the members of the carnival guild with loud music, who were looking forward to properly celebrating the foolish time. This year the focus is not only on fun, but also on the well-being of children in need. Carnival fans can actively help by purchasing a special button, which is available for just two euros. The button bears the slogan “Carnival 2025 – I’m there!” and specifically supports needy children in the region.
The anticipation of the traditional carnival parade is also palpable. The 42nd carnival parade will take place in Waidmannsdorf on March 4, 2025. The guild warmly invites new groups to take part in the event and use creative ideas and costumes to ensure an unforgettable parade. Those interested can find out more about participation and contribute their ideas on the guild's website.
A look at the details of the events
Carnival is not just a time for celebration; it also brings an opportunity to get involved socially. The idea behind the button campaign is to raise awareness of the needs of children in the area. With every donation, social interaction is cultivated and an important signal is sent. With this campaign, the guild would like to illustrate the connection between celebration and responsibility.
Next year's carnival parade promises to be a colorful highlight again. Participants who do not yet have any experience have the opportunity to contact the guild directly. Here you will not only find information, but also support and inspiration on how you can immerse yourself in the crazy hustle and bustle creatively and with joy. The guild encourages everyone, whether individuals or groups, to get involved and become part of the colorful carnival community.
Preparations are in full swing and the city is looking forward to the lively scenes that will fill the streets of Waidmannsdorf next March. These events are not only a joy for those involved, but they also contribute to cultural diversity and a sense of community in Klagenfurt.
