Mainz residents celebrate whenever there is cause for celebration – not just during the fantastic days of Carnival. Throughout the year, small and large festivals in Mainz and its districts invite people to be cheerful and celebrate together.

The event flyer "Celebrating festivals Mainz style" gives you an overview of small and large events in Mainz. You can download it at the bottom of this page.

The free leaflet – published by the Public Relations Department of the State Capital Mainz – will also be available from mid/late January 2026 at the Stadthaus Große Bleiche, the Stadthaus Kaiserstraße (Lauteren wing), the mainz STORE, and the local government offices.

You can also find out about current dates in our online event calendar. (opens in a new tab)
