Carnival of Basel, Switzerland
Basler Fasnacht, Schweiz
Carnaval de Bâle, Suisse
The Carnival of Basel (German: Basler Fasnacht) is the biggest carnival in Switzerland and takes place annually between February and March in Basel. It has been listed as one of the top fifty local festivities in Europe.
The approximately 18,000 active Fasnächtler dress up in a wide variety of costumes, including a mask known as a Larve. Participants are fully concealed and must remain incognito while parading; it is considered inappropriate and a breach of protocol to identify oneself by removing the mask, other than during official breaks from the parade.
Date 2017: Monday March 6 at exactly 4 o'clock in the morning
