Carnival parade "Ausseer Arbeittrommelweiner"
Tu., 17.02.2026 08:00 O'clock
Men dressed in spotless white night robes and sleeping hoods introduce their performance on Mardi Gras with deafening noise on large drums and other "instruments."
At 08:00 the parade of the Ausseer Bürgertrommelweiber starts through the center of Bad Aussee.
"Confessed men" in women's night dresses of the past centuries want to drive the winter out of the place with drums and trumpets. In earlier times, it was believed that forces of nature, such as winter, could be chased away with noise. On Shrove Tuesday, the drum women parade through Bad Aussee to the tune of the "Ausseer Faschingmarsch" (Shrove March of Aussee). This tune is carried by a rhythm that can be heard in all corners of Ausseerland during the three "holy" days of Shrove Tuesday.
