carnival, crowds

Waiting for carnival

Roughly 100,000 people come each year to watch the carnival procession in Burbach, Saarbrücken, on Rosenmontag (the last Monday before Lent). Not as many as watch the processions in Mainz and Cologne, but no small figure for a town of 200,000 souls.

  1. It looks like just about everyone gets into the spirit of the carnival ... and there's not much snow about either.
