Basel Fasnacht (Carnival)

Basel is considered to have the best carnival celebration in Europe. The carnival atmosphere is everywhere in the city. The youth of the city sell Fasnacht pins (since 1911) to raise money for the event. Visit this web-site for an overview of the history and activities of this treasured event. The Basel Fasnacht (Carnival) is CRAZY! Confetti, drums, flutes, costumes, parades, floats and more… It’s a huge party for the city. You should visit us in February next year to participate.
