Festivals and Traditions

Festivals and Traditions. Not a week goes by that there is not a highly entertaining festival going on somewhere in Good Old Germany, Switzerland and Austria. Almost every village and city seems to have its own celebration going on. GoRaRa editors Elke and Jörg Unger are traveling across the German speaking region to share their best finds with us. Christmas markets, wine- & beer fests, historic events or simply fun seasonal gatherings, you will be able to find them here at GoRaRa.

Carnival in Germany began in ancient times, when masked Teutons made as much noise as possible to chase away the evil spirits of winter. And in the Cologne area it now begins with ‘Weiberfastnacht’, on the Thursday before Ash Wednesday, when women take over the streets and no necktie is safe from the giant scissors they carry. http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art175104.asp
