February Things To Do Around Spangdahlem has several Fasching events going on as well as some other interesting things to go see during this month. These are generally no more than 3 hours away, although I may throw in one or two further away ones if I think that they are something to consider.
There are Things To Do for everyone! Some include Fasching parades, Chocolate, Beer Festival, Easter Market, Street Food & more! There has got to be one that you will find interesting and want to check out!
I’ve also included a printable file at the bottom so that you can print it out and easily see what is going on. Some of the events are this weekend so if you don’t get to them this year you can always add them to your list for next year. I’ll also be blogging about the ones that we get to visit so check back and see if they are worth taking a trip to.
Below is a list of upcoming Things To Do, please note many of the websites are in German only so use Google Chrome and it will translate the page for you. It will include the festival, website, dates, and how far from Spangdahlem & Ramstein.
