Carnival season in Europe
Cities all over the continent grow lively and festive in the days and weeks leading up to Fat Tuesday, which falls very early (February 5th) in the year in 2008. Although Venice has the most internationally well-known European carnival (and arguably the most beautiful costumes around), plenty of other cities put on world-class celebrations, as well. This week at Europe String I’ll be taking a look at some of these festivities.
Interested in attending some carnival fun yourself? The local tourist office should be able to tell you what’s planned in the city you’re in, or which nearby cities are worth a visit for their carnival revelry. Many cities in Europe also have official web pages these days which give you the scoop on upcoming parades and other planned activities.
