Fasching in Herschberg Germany

Lisa and I joined some of my staff for an evening at a Fasching Festival. Fasching is among the stronger traditions here in Deutschland. Fasching, also known as Carnival, is a series of pre-lent activities here in Catholic Germany. For tonight's event we visited a small local village that is known in the area to be a gathering for some great parties. One of which involves 3-4 surrounding villages putting on a series of musical numbers, dance routines, plays, etc. In my year and a half living here it may have been the most entertaining "festival" type events I have been to. I heard one person refer to it as, "A Lawrence Welk show put on by a drunk village." I'm not sure about that, but boy was it fun! Check out the video to see for yourself!
