Highlights of the Rhenish carnivals

8–14 February 2018
Düsseldorf Helau! There's no holding back carnival fans in the
metropolis on the banks of the Rhine when the “fifth season” kicks
off. Revellers will be in their element from 11 November. At Düssel-
dorf’s carnival, people laugh, dance and party hard, as countless
carnival events are held throughout the season. One of the high-
lights of the carnival are the politically themed floats of satire artist
Jacques Tilly at the Rose Monday Parade on 12 February 2018.

                            The METRO Marathon Düsseldorf is essentially a sightseeing
                            run. Runners will take in the world-famous Königsallee, pass the
                            modern MedienHafen – with buildings by such internationally re-
                            nowned star architects as Frank O. Gehry – and ready themselves
                            for the final sprint along the Rhine embankment promenade that
                            presents a view of the Schlossturm (palace tower) and Rhine Tower.
                            And because the finish leads them right to the Altstadt (Old Town),
                            the runners can celebrate their success with a cool “Alt” beer.

                              featuring scenes from fairy tales by the Brothers Grimm, and
                              15,000 LEDs create a fabulous atmosphere. There will also be
                              a large ice rink on Königsallee and the giant wheel on the Rhine
                              embankment promenade.
