Carnival has a long tradition in Bonn and “Alaaf” is the traditional way to give cheers to the 5th season. What fun it is to watch the washer princess storming the Beuel town hall (this year on February 16, 11.11 am) and the storm on the town halls in Bonn and Bad Godesberg district Carnival Sunday, February 19. The attack on the Old Town Hall is picturesque and fun at the time, with Prince and Bonna leading the “city soldiers” in their colourful uniforms against the mayor and her troups. Bonn’s biggest parade will begin at noon on Carnival Monday (Rosenmontag), February 20., featuring a colourful fleet with Prince Carnival Christoph II and Bonna Nadine I.

And BonnExpat Alaaf is getting you in the perfect carnival mood on 1 February!

BONNEXPAT is a special chance for expatriates to meet in a relaxed atmosphere while learning more about the city and all it has to offer. For further information, please visit our website at www.bonnexpat.com. Please note that photos and videos will be taken during the events and used for communication purposes by the organizing partners and that you agree to this by registering.

Our next BONNEXPAT evening will take place in June/July 2023 with a cultural highlight in the Art and Exhibition Hall of the Federal Republic of Germany (Bundeskunsthalle).

We look forward to seeing you at BONNEXPAT!
