For the people of Cologne, 11 is the lucky number. On November 11th at 11.11am the fifth season, aka carnival season, begins. While celebrations are mainly put on hold until after the holiday period, come the Thursday before Lent in February the parties truly kick off for a solid week of what’s known as ‘crazy days.' Locals raid their cupboards and tourists pack the costumes because Cologne’s Carnival means fancy dress and fiestas. Street parties and mini raves keep festival goers entertained all week long but it’s Rose Monday everyone waits for: the day of masks and marches as the town’s nominated Prince, Peasant, and Maiden lead a parade while watchers show their support by dressing in their wackiest wardrobes. It's tradition at the carnival to give a kiss, just a little peck, so don't be too alarmed should you arrive home with more than a few rouge stains!
