Fes­tauss­chuss Karl­sruher Fast­nacht (FKF)

The Fes­tauss­chuss KARLSRUHER FASTNACHT (FKF) is the umbrel­la orga­ni­za­tion rep­re­sent­ing the inter­ests of its affil­i­at­ed car­ni­val clubs. It also sup­ports its mem­bers as a ser­vice provider by offer­ing advice and assis­tance. Its key respon­si­bil­i­ties include orga­niz­ing the Karl­sruhe car­ni­val parade – the largest free pub­lic event in the city – pre­serv­ing and devel­op­ing car­ni­val tra­di­tions, and pro­mot­ing young par­tic­i­pants through its youth orga­ni­za­tion. The FKF was found­ed in 1952 as an asso­ci­a­tion of Karl­sruhe car­ni­val societies.
