On March 4, 2025, the traditional carnival parade will once again take place in Graz.
The carnival parade starts at 12.45 pm in Graz's Herrengasse - the jesters then make their way to the main square. Here, the funniest costumes in various categories are judged by an expert jury and the winners can win great prizes.
How can you take part in the Graz carnival parade?
Groups who would like to take part in the carnival parade themselves can register online from October 2023.
Important note: Due to the carnival parade, no streetcars can run in Herrengasse on this day from around 12.15 p.m. to around 3.15 p.m. - a rail replacement service will be set up. As the city center is always very crowded around the parade on Shrove Tuesday, it is still advisable to travel by public transport. Arrive early and secure a stand with a good view of the parade! If you are coming from outside the city, we recommend using one of the numerous Park & Ride parking lots on the outskirts of the city.
