About the Fasching Festival
Fasching (occasionally called Fastnacht) is thought to have begun as a pagan festival that was designed to ward off winter and usher in a bountiful spring harvest. Today, Munich’s carnival season is linked to the Catholic church and acts as a final celebration before Lent.
The Fasching season officially starts at 11:11am on 11th November with the coronation of the Fasching Prince and Princess, however the real revelry doesn’t begin until the days leading up to Ash Wednesday almost three months later.
Nearly every corporation and society in Munich hosts celebrations, with hundreds of parties ranging from elegant black-tie galas to magical fancy-dress balls taking place every year. Many are invitation-only, but numerous glamorous events are open to the public. One of the most popular is the Deutsches Theatre’s Rose Gala, which features live opera and dancing.
Fasching normally reaches its climax in late February, when revellers come together in Marienplatz (Mary’s Square) to sing, dance and masquerade through the streets. A famous costumed parade called the Dance of the Market Women takes place on Shrove Tuesday, before the festival ends at exactly midnight as Lent begins.
If you’re planning on jetting off to Munich to celebrate Fasching, you’re going to need some extra space to store all your ball gowns. Air Charter Service can arrange your private jet charter to Munich Airport.
