Mainz residents celebrate whenever the occasion arises—not just during the carnival season. Throughout the year, festivals both big and small in Mainz and its neighborhoods invite you to have fun and celebrate together.

The event flyer “Celebrating the Mainz Way” gives you an overview of events both big and small in Mainz. You can download it at the bottom of this page.

The free brochure—published by the Public Relations Department of the State Capital of Mainz—will also be available starting in mid- to late January 2026 at the Große Bleiche Stadthaus, the Kaiserstrasse Stadthaus (Lauteren Wing), at the mainz STORE, and at the local administrative offices.

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