Fasching is coming back to Fredericksburg, Texas and in a big way. If you’re asking yourself “what is Fasching?”, don’t worry, it’s our number one question. Fasching is Geman Mardi Gras or Carnival. It’s a huge festival every year that celebrates the festive season right before lent. There will be two Fasching events held this year to celebrate the week leading up to Shrove or Fat Tuesday. On February 11th, we have the Fest Nacht Party. Fest Nacht is a hugely fun night filled with decorated tables, costumes and lots of dancing. The theme this year is Vegas Baby! For more information, see the Fest Nacht website at Fest Nacht.

On February 18th, we have the first annual Fasching Ball. This is the Masquerade Ball of all time. The theme this year is Winter Karneval and we will be transforming the Hanagar Hotel Ball Room into a magical winter wonderland with over the top food, martini bars and cigar lounges, just to name a few exciting hints. You don’t want to miss this inaugural event! Tickets are $150 per person or Tables of 8 are $2800. Tables are extremely limited already. You can buy tickets on the website at Fasching Fredericksburg.

If you have never been to Enchanted Rock, you are missing out. Enchanted Rock is the largest natural granite outcropping in the U.S. The Rock is a huge, pink granite exfoliation dome, that rises 425 feet above ground, 1825 feet above sea level, and covers 640 acres. It’s a fantastic place to hike, backpack and rock climb. All Seasons Downtown Retreat is the perfect place to stay while exploring the park.
