Events in winter

Every year during Advent, Koblenz is transformed into an atmospheric pre-Christmas paradise: The scent of freshly roasted almonds, mulled wine and gingerbread wafts through the streets. At the arts and crafts market, numerous stalls with handmade unique items invite you to a cozy gift hunt.
You can stroll through the festively decorated city center from one favorite spot to the next in complete relaxation. A particularly contemplative sight awaits you at Jesuitenplatz. There you will find the city's largest Advent calendar, composed of the colorfully lit dormer windows of the baroque town hall.

"Kowelenz Olau!" - This battle cry resounds from all corners and alleys on Rose Monday. Koblenz is one of the carnival strongholds in the Rhineland. Every year, more than 150,000 onlookers come to celebrate with the guards, clubs and music groups. The närrische Lindwurm winds its way through the city center, starting at Altstadt in the direction of the train station and back, on a total parade route of 5 kilometers. In 2024, more than 45 floats and over 90 foot groups will once again enrich the procession. Celebrate this Rose Monday procession with more than 4,500 active participants!
