The foolish goings-on on Shrove Tuesday are rounded off with the Kappenfahrt. The corporations invite to the Kappenfahrt, a foolish parade in convertibles through the city. And thus end the street carnival.
In an atmospheric conclusion of the carnival on Tuesday evening on the Ludwigsstraße and in many Mainz pubs until the next campaign start and "beerdigt".
Motto 2017: De Dom gehört zu Meenz am Rhoi, wie Fassenacht, Weck, Worscht und Woi!
