Welcome to my carnival page, which is all about the Maastricht Carnival, or as we call it:
 Vastelaovend
Carnival is the biggest party of the year in Maastricht. It's like Mardy Gras, but just a bit different.
Carnival is celebrated in all of Limburg an in Brabant as well, but every city has it's own customs. In Maastricht people
don't just party inside the many cafe's of Maastricht, but also in the streets, which is quite unique. It's a real sport for people to dress as
funny, weird or striking as possible. It's unbelievable what you can see each year. The colours of carnival are
red, yellow and green.
I've put up some pictures from my own photo-album (click them to enlarge) and I've added some links to other Limburgian Carnival sites.
If you know a good carnival site that you would like to see added to my list below, just
e-mail me! Enjoy!
