Celebrate Mardi Gras "Bavarian-Style", also known as "Winter Karnival" in Germany. Karnival season is traditionally a time of festivity and merry-making before the start of Lent, a time of feasting before fasting. Although Fasching in Helen is on a much smaller scale than in Germany, it is a time to celebrate before Lent. Dress as your favorite, or perhaps, your least favorite personality or character and join us for a night of dancing and fun! Live German Music!
