The official start is at 11:11 am on the 11th of November and the big event in Bonn city will take place at Marktplatz. Because the opening of the carnival season just happens to coincide with the climate conference, the Bonn carnivalists thought it would be nice to invite visitors from all over the world to enjoy this German tradition.
