About Fasching
Fasching is the Roman Catholic Shrovetide carnival celebrated in German-speaking countries. There are many regional differences concerning the name, duration, and activities of the carnival. It is known as Fasching in Bavaria and Austria, Fosnat in Franconia, Fasnet in Swabia, Fastnacht in the Mainz area, and Karneval in Cologne and the Rhineland.
At the GACSRI, we celebrate Fasching each spring with Karnival-style festivities that include costumes, live music, food, drink, and merriment!
