The traditional appointment on 11.11.The Aachen carnival committee simply preferred.Because whenever the day fell on a weekend, there was a lot more going on in the city center.Therefore, clubs had asked the organization team whether you couldn't just put the start of the session on weekends?Then more people would have the opportunity to celebrate - without work and obligations.After the 2019 test run - by the way because of the Corona pandemic the last official start of session in Aachen - you have now done it again.
Finally again carnival!
