Schlagermove

Muchen has the Oktoberfest, Cologne has the carnival…and Hamburg… well here we have the Schlagermove.

Also known as the carnival of North is a parade that take place every year in HH (end Juni or Juli).

Schage music is a style of music that emerged in Europe after the Second World War, partly as a backlash against American rock and roll, and uses simple patterns of music. Typical schlager tracks are either sweet, highly sentimental ballads with a simple, catchy melody or light pop tunes. Lyrics typically center on love, relationships and feelings). 

Tons of people from all around Germany  come with their Hippie-70’s-flower power costumes,  to sing and dance schlage music during the 3,3 km parade with 45 trucks,  and of course most of them get drunk.
