GAMGA Founders
GAMGA

The name GAMGA has over the past years become a very popular word in the USA, Canada and Europe, not only for friends of Karneval but in most German communities, Germans settled down. Karneval has immigrated to this country, just as the many of us did... 

Tradition is there where the people are. Especially if the tradition is such a fun one, as we celebrate this beautiful part of our heritage. Some of the many friends of Karneval grew up in Europe with the so called 5th Season of the year.

Many members belong to the GAMGA today and they have adopted to the customs of the "Narren und Naerrinen" which form today’s great organization. 
 

Founders of GAMGA

In 1985 five great people had the idea to organize and keep the traditon of Carnival. 
Their names should never be forgotten.
