Carnival in Franconia 2020: The question is - like every year, is it getting dirty - or is it good?
It starts on Friday, February 14th, from 7 p.m. - and all the fun will be broadcast live from the Mainfrankensäle in Veitshöchheim on Bayerischer Rundfunk (BR) . The famous Shrovetide stars “Dreggsagg” Michl Müller, ventriloquist Sebastian Reich - with hippo lady Amanda and the popular cabaret duo Volker Heißmann and Martin Rassau are said to be on stage on Friday evening. In addition, laid speaker Peter Kuhn is said to give the ceremonial meeting its special flavor.
The best garden dancers from Franconia also dance. But not only the classics are supposed to make the “Fastnacht in Franken” * an unforgettable event. The a-capella band “Viva Voce” from Ansbach and Thomas Väth, the “blacksmith from Bischbrunn”, are celebrating their premiere on the Veitshöchheimer Fastnachts stage with a big “Helau”. The appearance of the "Besenbinder", the guard of the Carnival Club Röttenbach, should also inspire.
