Carnival:

The Mainz Carnival 2027 has chosen the theme 'Die Schwellköpp in de Fassenacht gehör'n zu Meenz wie's singt und lacht' (The big heads belong to Mainz as much as singing and laughing). This theme celebrates the 100th anniversary of the Schwellköpp, large handmade papier-mâché heads that are iconic symbols of the Mainz Carnival. The theme was selected by a jury from 72 shortlisted proposals out of 450 submissions. The Schwellköpp were first introduced during the Rose Monday parade in 1927. The event is scheduled for early February 2027, with the carnival activities concluding on Ash Wednesday.
