winter

What began in March 1998 at the Restaurant Bahnhof as the "Höflifasnacht" has developed over the years into the traditional «Diemtigtaler Fasnacht» with a parade, various participating «Guggenmusik» and costume awards.

The cozy and colorful hustle and bustle in the village of Oey continues thanks to a new board... The event has been filed at the end of the national carnival calendar. No wonder so many carnival lovers come to Diemtigtal to get into the spirit once again.

The motto for 2026 is: «back to the future»
