Events This Year in 2018
Karneval (Carnival) Fasching Party 2018
On Rosenmontag, Monday the February 12th
at Lions Head Tavern, from 7pm - 10pm (kids and families - until 9pm). Your costumes will be in need just as if you were in Germany / Austria / Switzerland!
It is a joyful, silly celebration with a long history in Catholicism; long ago, Carnival was the chance for many to get wild before going pious during Lent. Different parts of the world including German-speaking regions, celebrate it as part of their cultures. For several years in a row, German Canadian Association NS has organized Karneval Fasching every year to celebrate Germanic heritage and traditions.
Event recap: Karneval 2018 - Fasching Party was a success! Despite exam weeks for uni students and maritimes' cold temperature in February, around 25-35 people in total showed up, most of them in costumes. We all played games, listened to German and Canadian music, kids played with balloons and ate candies, and we all took lots of photos - some of them taken by Snapd Halifax. Our hearty thanks goes to all guests, volunteers, media channels who helped us out through social media and staff of Lions Head Tavern. Please visit Photo Gallery to view Karneval 2018 photos.
