Basel is considered to have the best carnival celebration in Europe (March 6-8 2006). The carnival atmosphere is everywhere in the city as people prepare for the event. The youth of the city sell fasnacht pins (since 1911) to pay for the carnival activities. We found a shop window that displayed pins from the 50’s - 00’s. The pins come in gold, silver and bronze and are priced 20, 14, 7 CHF ea. People all over town wear them on their coat to show their support.
