Witch alarm, Italian flair in the style of the AHA guild and an enthusiastic audience: around 30,000 people celebrate Fasnet at the big parade in Weil der Stadt. We were there and have the pictures.
First you hear the quiet thunder of the drums, then the first notes of the brass instruments – and then he turns the corner, the beadle, who, as always, leads every carnival parade in Weil der Stadt and signals: Now it starts. Finally! On this carnival Sunday he also brings a few raindrops with him, which should alternate with a few rays of sunshine throughout the procession.
