Wiesbaden Carnival
traditionally, carnival starts on November 11 at 11:11. However, the real street carnival started last thursday and will reach its climax on Rosenmontag (Rose Monday) with huge parades in Mainz, Köln (Cologne) and Düsseldorf.
With respect to carnival, Wiesbaden doesn’t play in the same league as the somewhat smaller city of Mainz on the other side of the river Rhein, but there also is quite a big parade on Sunday and a nice children’s carnival on Saturday.
Today, there were many small events going on in the streets of Wiesbaden, for example this troop from Basle (Switzerland).
