A folklore celebration in the Rhineland tradition, the Carnaval du Bouc Bleu is a key event in the region that attracts a large number of visitors every year. At the season’s opening ceremony, which invariably takes place on 11 November, the royal couple is elected. The high point of the carnival is the grand procession that goes along the Route de Bischwiller, from Hoenheim to Schiltigheim, through Bischheim. Almost a thousand carnival participants make up this parade, cheered on and followed by an eclectic, enthusiastic crowd. It’s a bright and colourful tradition, full of confetti, disguises and marching bands!
