The 2024/2025 carnival season was ceremoniously opened in Weiz last Saturday.

Barbara Tiefengraber, as the new carnival chancellor, was able to enthrall the crowd with her charisma and enthusiasm for the upcoming celebrations.
The motto “Girls, Men and Mallorca” could be interpreted as a call to celebrate diversity and joy of life, which is likely to be reflected in the costumes and performances. Guests are invited to live out their imagination and be creative – a central component of the carnival season.
What is particularly worth mentioning is the fact that the Fool's Wake is not just a performance, but an invitation for everyone to take part in this joyful tradition. This not only promotes a sense of community, but also strengthens cohesion in the region. Even in times of global uncertainty, fool awakening remains a stable anchor for local identity and togetherness.
