The story
Vaduz Carnival in Vaduz
Vaduz Carnival, or Fasnacht, transforms Liechtenstein's capital each February or March with a costumed street parade, hand-carved Schemen masks, and the traditional Narrii-Narroo carnival cry. A Guggenmusik brass-band monster concert follows on Rathausplatz, drawing guilds and visitors from across the tiny alpine principality and neighboring countries.
Liechtenstein's capital surrenders to costumed chaos each February or March when Vaduz Carnival, known locally as Fasnacht, transforms the compact town center into what residents call the fifth season.
