Big parade through Graz city center on Tuesday
On Shrove Tuesday, the city center of Graz is in the hands of fools: at 12:15 pm, the big parade with numerous floats from all over Styria starts at the opera house. The colorful hustle and bustle, including confetti rain and doughnuts in abundance, stretches along the Opernring via Herrengasse to the main square. This year, the Styrian band Alle Achtung will provide the atmosphere there. Attention public transport drivers: due to the parade, there will be no streetcars running through Herrengasse from around 12 noon until around 3.15 pm. A rail replacement service will be set up.

Advance tickets for four euros are already gone, but tickets are still available on site for six euros.
