The Fasnacht Parade in Fallout 76 is a highly anticipated seasonal event that occurs biannually, with the next installment scheduled to take place between February 17 and March 3, 2026. This information is confirmed by the FO76 Season 23 calendar for Burning Springs, as well as the official calendar released by Bethesda Softworks and ZeniMax Online Studios.
During the Fasnacht Parade, players participate in a quest chain to kick off the parade and can collect a wide variety of masks and other rewards. The event draws inspiration from the traditional Fasnacht carnival celebrated by the Swiss, German, and Austrian people, featuring demon, jester, witch, and animal masks. In the real-world town of Helvetia, West Virginia, Fasnacht is celebrated with great food, masquerade balls, and traditional music.
The digital adaptation of Fasnacht in Fallout 76 brings the festive spirit of the carnival to the game, providing players with a unique and enjoyable experience. While the exact schedule for the second Fasnacht event in 2026 is uncertain, past years have seen the event occur twice annually, typically in February-March and June-July or June-August.
As players gear up for the upcoming Fasnacht Parade in February 2026, anticipation is high for the festivities, masks, and rewards that await. The event promises to be a fun and immersive experience that adds a touch of celebration and tradition to the post-apocalyptic world of Fallout 76.
