Fasching Dinner Finds a New Home – Carrying Forward a Cherished Tradition

Details

Starting in 2026, the Fasching Dinner will find its new home at the iconic Riverside Ballroom in Green Bay. The first event is already scheduled for Saturday, January 31, 2026, ensuring that the music, dancing, and festivities remain alive for the community that cherishes them. Enthusiasm is already running high — a second show has been reserved for Saturday, February 6, 2027, reaffirming organizers’ commitment to keeping the tradition thriving for years to come.

Riverside Ballroom’s reputation as a historic and welcoming venue makes it a fitting place for this next chapter. With its spacious dance floor, classic atmosphere, and strong ties to Wisconsin’s musical heritage, it promises to give the celebration a fresh backdrop without losing touch with its roots.

The Spirit Behind the Celebration
At the heart of the event is the band — whose music has long been central to Fasching Dinner’s identity — and the community of supporters who have ensured that the tradition endures even as it changes locations. Their dedication reflects what Fasching has always represented: connection, joy, and cultural pride shared across generations.

Fasching Dinner and Show
German Fasching, also known as Karneval or Fastnacht, is a traditional pre-Lenten celebration.
