Fastnacht carnival in Lucerne

fastnacht
Switzerland, Lucerne
Carnival Fastnacht takes place in Lucerne every year. There is no exact date for the carnival, the reference point is the Catholic holiday of Mardi Grass, which falls on the first Sunday after the first spring full moon.

Fastnacht is a carnival of ghosts and monsters. A costume procession of people and carts starts from the city center. At this time, the townspeople turn into crazy people: they dress up in a variety of colorful costumes, sing songs, sprinkle each other with confetti and douse each other with beer. This rampage lasts 6 days.

Walking through the night Lucerne, I noticed a brightly painted house. It featured some costumed characters. Later I learned that Lucerne annually hosts a carnival of ghosts and monsters "Fastnacht", which were depicted on the house. If you didn't get to the carnival - don't be upset, you can always imagine it by looking at the colorful frescoes on this house.
