  All children are welcome to attend Kinderfasching ~ a celebration with games, crafts, and activities! We would love to see you and your children dressed up in costumes for this exciting event!

  Do you have a "Faschingsmuffel" (child who does not like carnival or dress up)? No worries, he/she will have fun anyways with the games we planned or he/she can give a hand helping younger kids with activities. 

  There will be food and beverages for sale - including Krapfen (also known as a Berliner). Additional snacks include hot dogs, pretzels, juice, coffee, soda, and water. Adults can purchase beer and wine from the bar.

  Enjoy balloons, face painting, German games, prizes, crafts and be sure to take advantage of our "photo booth" with fun props.

  This event is open to all families.

  If you have children in the Saturday Kinderschule program, be sure to come early to buy carnival tickets and plan to meet your children in the Brandenburg Room on the 2nd floor.

  Admission is free. Doors open at noon and tickets are 10 for $10 and 22 for $20. Proceeds support the DANK Haus Language School program and our continued operations.

  Let us know if you are coming so we can plan for all the fun!
