German Carnival

German Carnival (german: Karnival) has been celebrated for centuries in the northwest of Germany. We were costumes, we dance, drink, sing and we all gather together and celebrate life. It´s colorful and adventures. It starts every year on November 11 at 11am and it ends by the end of february. In the last few weeks we have a lot of events, like school dances dedicated to Carnival, to whole festivals on the market by the Cologne Cathedral with live music and thousands of people. I believe everyone should experience Carnival at least once in their life!
