Good advice

Sensible footwear
We recommend sensible footwear to the Carnival - that is footwear with thick soles. Especially in the parade, shattered glass and other sharp objects can occur on the street, so you can easily get injured. Every year lots of people get injured this way, so we recommend that you are prepared for such situations from home. 

Flammable textiles 
To prevend any fire damages, be aware of flammable textiles and of the fastening on them. Contact adhesive is for example highly flammable, so pay special attention to the fact that it must not get too close to the body, if contact adhesive is used. In the event of fire it can be vital being able to get the clothes off the body, so be aware of the fact that clothes, headgear and other objects are not fastened too carefully. 

Attention to first aid stations 
Make sure to be informed about the placement of toilets and first aid stations in Kildeparken and especially along the parade. Quick acces can be necessary, so it will be of help to notice the location of these, both for you and the other guests. 

Drink water in copious amounts
Make sure to drink copious amounts of water during the Carnival, that way you can avoid dehydration. 

Prepare your trip home
Make sure to have planned your trip home in advance, so that is not a concern when the day is out.

Enhanced effort from the authorities:

Shopping carts
It is no longer allowed to bring shopping carts to the parade. You can bring your own handcart for beer, bagage and similar things, which is brought home afterwards. It is not appropriate that the stores in Aalborg loose all of their shopping carts up to the Carnival nor that the streets are littered with them when the parade is over. 

Drugs 
It is illegal to bring, sell or use any forms of psychedelic drugs. 


Illegal sale of beer
This year there will be enhanced supervision on illegal sale of beer, especially along the parade - there will be a strong action against preventing this. Also violence and fights will not be tollerated along the route. 

Illegal sale - from SKAT
SKAT - Danish taxes - has placed a enhanced effort against illegal sales along the parade, both at the starting points and along the great parade in mid-town. 



Extended service 

More toilets
There will be placed more toilets than before along the route, for easier and faster acces. 

Advanced emergency room
This year there will be placed an advanced emergency room by Kildeparken for faster help to the injured and to ease the emergency room at the South Hospital in Aalborg. At the advanced emergency room there will be a staff of nurses and doctors ready to help. 

More first aid stations 
There will be placed more first aid stations along the route so there will be opportunity for faster first aid and treatment of minor injuries. 


We hope that these advice and initiatives will contribute to a better and safer Carnival for everyone. 


Take care of yourself and each other - we look forward to seeing you at this years greatest party!
