It is   Fasching or carnival season in Germany. I was browsing  awhile ago for some  pictures in my external hard drive. I was  looking particularly  about the photos I took during the Fasching or carnival parade  held four years ago in the town of Velburg in Neumarkt, Bavaria.  Witnessing such event especially if you are not from Germany is very interesting.

The carnival parade in  Velburg last 2009 is not really a big one compared to the famous ones in Cologne, Mainz or Dusseldorf but it is still worth to experience.  You can find colorful fancy carnival costumes, decorated floats,  bands and drum and bugle corps and  you can see a lot of people  singing, dancing and shouting during the parade.

I had fun  when we witnessed the Faschingszug or carnival parade in this town of Velburg.
