Fasching 2011

SPANGDAHLEM AIR BASE, Germany -- Dancers walk and perform in last year’s Fasching parade in Binsfeld. Most Eifel region communities, regardless of their size, will host parades March 6-8 this year; but the most famous German parades are on Rose Monday, March 7, in the cities of Cologne, Mainz and Duesseldorf. Rose Monday parades are also held in most cities along the Rhine River, as well as in Aachen and Munich. In these locations people can find the typical big city events and spectacular shows. Thousands of observers stand in the streets, cheering, singing and dancing. In addition, millions of people watch the parades on television. Children bring bags along to collect the candies and sweets parade participants hand out or throw into the crowds. (U.S. Air Force photo/Iris Reiff)
