Bitburg celebrates Fasching

BITBURG, Germany— People dress in colorful costumes to celebrate Fat Thursday for Fasching here March 3. During Fasching, or Fastnacht, often referred to as Germany's silly season, thousands of clubs host costume balls, dances and Kappensitzungen, or joke sessions. The celebration begins on Fat Thursday with Weiberfastnacht, or Ladies Fasching. Fasching is a time to chase away winter spirits and welcome the warmer seasons.
