CARNAVAL in Limburg !!

This is the famous carnaval of limburg.

For reasons that no one can quite explain to me, each year, for 5 days in February, whole villages in the southern provinces of Holland dress up in costume to parade the snowy streets in arctic temperatures and drink gallons and gallons of freezing beer and eat mountains of salty fried treats.

We paraded the streets by day, and at night, would be on the streets to dance to hearty provincial carnaval songs about beer and chips, amongst the falling snow. Exceedingly cold, but a laugh a minute.
