Fasnacht in Zurich



This weekend was Fasnacht in Zurich. Fore more background on Fasnacht, I found this article on Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fasnacht



The highlight of Fasnacht is the parade in the old town on Sunday. There are music bands ( Guggemusik), lots of witches and other mountain creatures, kids can get candies and nice women will probably get lots of confettis in their hair or worst in their purse!

Here are some pictures:


So what do you think? Do you find this interesting? Scary? Fun?
Let me know.

Cheers!

  2. Hi Romy! Thanks! I do know as I have asked to join, but the reply was that my blog is too young. I'll re-apply when I have been here a bit longer, so I hope to be able to meet you soon. Cheers!
