ZüriCarneval 2022 to offer a limited program

The Fasnacht carnival tradition in Zürich may not be as big as in Basel or Luzern. But for one weekend, the city’s own Mardi Gras is usually taking over the streets of Zürich.

Jazz concerts and steel band performances are highlights of the Zürich carnival tradition. The culmination of ZüriCarneval is a spectacular street show for everyone who loves confetti, weird costumes, and live music.

That's when there is no pandemic. After having been canceled, the ZüriCarneval is back in 2022 with a limited program. There will be no tent at Münsterhof. And there will also be no big parade this year.

Stay tuned and check the ZüriCarneval website for more information on the limited program.

Here are some impressions from the 2012 edition of ZüriCarneval:
