Switzerland: Basler Fasnacht (Carnival in Basel)
Switzerland: Basler Fasnacht (Carnival in Basel)
Leave your false nose at home and forget the Wein, Weib und Gesang from the German carnival tradition: the Basler Fasnacht has its own rules. In Basel no singalongs and dancing, but Europe's most amazing manner to chase the winter away. 72 hours long. From the 2nd till the 4th of March 2009.

Tuesday is children's carnival during the Basler Fasnacht. Then the children rule and the parents obey. Since the typical Larve, the mask of Basel, is rude and large, it can be a surprise when it is lifted. Which is rarely, but thirst breaks rules.
