Basel Fasnacht (Carnival) Starts Tomorrow

Tomorrow the Basel Fasnacht begins.  This is the largest annual event in Basel.  I'll be adding some pictures.

The history of Fasnacht has been recorded back to 1376.  The original Fasnacht carnival was modified by the Reformation and the powerful craft guilds.  

For those who would like to participate from afar, here is the Fasnacht parade webcam page.  The Morgenstraich starts at 4:00 a.m., so those who are interested at 19:00 on the West Coast you can click and watch.
