What is it all about?
Karneval – is also known as Fasching, also nicknamed fünfte Jahreszeit(the fifth season) or närrische Saison (the foolish season) in Germany. Many of you know it as Carnivale, or Mardi Gras. They are all one and the same thing: pre-Lenten festivities celebrated since medieval times in grand German style.
When does Karneval start? The “Fünfte Jahreszeit” actually starts on 11th of November at 11.11 a.m. and lasts until Shrove Tuesday (the day before Ash Wednesday). Of course the public events are concentrated in the week before Ash Wednesday. But the Karnevalsvereine (Karneval clubs) revel with sessions and parties (drinking, singing and stand-up comedy) after the official November kick-off all the way through to Lent, taking only a short break for the Christmas holidays.
Karneval is a time to have “Spaß an d’r Freud” (Enjoy Pleasure). Come with a group of friends, add a fun or sexy costume, leave your worries at the door and enjoy great German dance music, beer and some old traditions.
Doors Open at 7:00 PM. Entertainment featuring the Express Band, and of course the San Diego Karnevalsgesellschaft begins at 8:00 PM.
Are you asking, should we wear costumes? Costumes are always encouraged! If you are wondering what to wear, take your cue from the event theme. The Proklamation Party is the official coronation of the Prinz Karneval! Have some fun and wear a MardiGras mask, a colorful hat, or even a colorful clown costume, but leave the scary Halloween themed costumes at home. During Karneval the normal formalities are cast aside. Be prepared to abandon your inhibitions! This is always much easier when wearing a mask!
Call to make reservations. Call 619-442-6637.
Children are welcomed, but please note, the entertainment can be adult oriented. We have a special Kinderkarneval just for the kids and kids of all ages! Fun, games and prizes for the best costumes. Plus the Youth Dance Group provides and entertaining floor show. Free Admission
