Fasnacht

Posted by ShapeupTony 15 January 2007

The Swiss version of Carnival. The weather isn't as good as Rio - so costumes are not as revealing. But the atmosphere, costumes and music are completely the opposite of the reserved, staid Swiss stereotype. Check out the web page of the Gugge band I play with, www.figorowa.ch for some pictures.

This happens in several regions in Switzerland mostly in the German speaking region. Luzern or Zug, starting 3 am on 15th February (Schmutziger Donnerstag) through to 21st February this year.
