Once again this year, the Fool's Council meeting will take place in the Coronation Hall of the Town Hall on the eve of Fat Thursday. For the first time, Lord Mayor Dr. Michael Ziemons and the City Council are jointly hosting the event. The meeting starts on February 11 at 6.11 pm, admission is from 5.30 pm.

Then it's "Pratschjeck op Fastelovvend" again for the Aachen City Council. De Schönne Fiffis, the youth guard of the AKiKa, the Stadtgarde Öcher Penn von 1857 e.V. and many more will be there to round off the program. Prince Lukas I, together with his court and the Prince's Guard, will also be celebrating with the foolish city council. Admission is free for everyone. Foolish costumes are welcome.

Since 2023, the market women of the Öcher Penn have once again stormed Aachen's town hall on Wieverfastelovvend. Together with the carnival prince, they snatch the keys to the town hall from the Lord Mayor for the days of carnival. The storming of the town hall is embedded in a program put together by the KK Öcher Storm in cooperation with the City of Aachen. The colorful event starts at 10.11 a.m. on the market square and ends at 1 p.m. with a visit from the Öcher Penn city guard. The market is freely accessible and admission is of course free.
