The Weidfäger Wolhusen

 

 

INSANE ABOUT CARNIVAL SINCE 1978

 

More than 35 years ago, to be more precise since 1978, the Carnival Group Weidfäger Wolhusen was founded. Established by a couple of lads from the Weid-Suburb of a small Town in central Switzerland, the club was first named as "Weidschränzer" until it was renamed to Weidfäger in 1985 as it still exists today. Carnival enthusiasts, music Lovers, pioneers and of course carnival parties itself were our founding fathers. You would propably yourself hardly believe what era has started with this establishment. Lots of rehearsals, tinkering, celebrating... storries, myths and legends were born since then. Some of our good friends have left us. Everytime we perform we also dedicate the songs to them so they will never forget.

 

It was already in 1979 when we presented our first collaborative apparel and since 1983 we manufacture our carnival heads and batches by ourselves. To this tradition we sticked so far and will continue. One of the most popular carnival parties called "Fäger Fägete" takes place on the Friday after ash-Thursday (start of short carnival Season). Our concept of oversized stages and countless theme places has proven well and over the years now thousands of visitors dressed up pilger to Wolhusen. Nevertheless, at first the "Fäger Fägete" is still a carnival occasion for our local people that support us, so this is our commitment to return something.

 

Of course we participate in activities during the year and not only at carnival. We take place at local soccer tournements, go on hikes in the mountains together, have a barbeque or simply prepare for the carnival season. We restricted our acting performance to the carnival time only, except the occation that a member gets married.

 

Being a Weidfäger means to live out the "Fasnacht" peacefully and uninhibited. We want to infect other people, no matter if young or old, with our carnival virus. We always meet strangers from near and far with tolerance and a smile. As Weidfäger we celebrate the carnival with total commitment and boundless euphoria. Carnival is and always will remain a matter of Interpretation. This allows each individual club its own decision how much effort to invest into the fifth Season of the year.

 

For our trip to Shanghai we have taken our commitment to a new Limit. And once again we have received backup from all-around. We express our sincere thanks to all that contributed to this project in order to make this dream come true for us.

 

We will be marching trough Shanghai with a big smile. And after our return we will soon be able to tackle the Carnival 2017.
