Fasnacht 2008



Good times at the Basel "Fasnacht" (Carnival). This year we decided to attend the Morgenstreich at 4am on Monday to get started (see videos). Yes, a bit early, but well worth it. In the afternoon, we attended another parade so we could enjoy the music and costumes of the participants. The carnival atmosphere is everywhere in the city. Confetti, drums, flutes, costumes, parades, and floats just to name a few. Lasting from 4am Monday until 4am Thursday, it’s a huge party, and considered to be one of the best carnival celebrations in Europe. See all of our Fasnacht pictures from the last three years here.
