People dance in the streets. Colorful costumes and masks cast a spell over you. Countless drums give Bremen's city center a touch of Rio. Be there when the largest European Samba Carnival moves the northern German city to Sugarloaf Mountain and enchants it with South American sounds.
The date for 2024 is yet to be announced.
In the Viertel
In spring 2023, you can look forward to a somewhat smaller version of the Bremen Samba Carnival. Under the motto "Spring Awakening", the main and side streets in the Ostertor district will be transformed into one big stage. Be there and look forward to a colorful spectacle of colors, music and dance.
Around 100 samba groups from all over Germany, the Netherlands, Great Britain, Poland and other European countries gather in Bremen every year to celebrate the Bremen Samba Carnival together with you and up to 40,000 other interested people. Instead of sweets, “Helau” and “Alaaf”, you can expect fantastical masks, rousing rhythms and varied choreographies with Bremens version of carnival. But the big parade is only one highlight of numerous exciting events.
Das Motto "Die Reise!" galt es im Jahr 2016 für die Teilnehmenden des Samba Karnevals zu interpretieren.
