Just a few more nights of sleep and then it's time! The biggest fancy dress party in the South of the Netherlands is just around the corner. And of course we're talking about nothing less than carnival! Many Brabanders and Limburgers already have their fancy dress in their closet and can't wait to get started. Are you ready for carnival or are you still hesitating to go this year? In this blog, we'll give you 4 reasons why you should celebrate carnival this year.
Whether you are a truck driver, doctor or lawyer, everyone is equal during carnival. This is perhaps the best part of the party. Because everyone is dressed up, it is not visible from your appearance whether you have a lot or a little money to spend. Because in a carnival costume, no one can see what kind of work you do. In addition, everyone treats each other as equals. Everyone dances, laughs and has fun with each other and no one is excluded. Carnival is about having fun and that is possible with everyone.
After New Year's Eve, many people feel down. During this period, there are often few fun parties, it is cold, dark and there is little to do. Carnival is the first outdoor party of the year. That has to be celebrated. If you are dressed warmly and keep dancing, it really doesn't matter that it is only 3°C outside. This party certainly provides a bright spot in the coldest months of the year.
Carnival is the biggest fancy dress party in the Netherlands. Finally a reason to (re)discover that dark corner in the back of your wardrobe. For four days you can make it as crazy as you want. No one will say anything about what you look like, unless you are not dressed up, so go wild! Go for a nice Tyrolean dress , fireman's suit or dress up in hippie clothes . For the real Crea Bea's among us, this is your moment!
Perhaps one of the best reasons to celebrate carnival this year! Crazy music is blasting through the speakers and the polonaise is happening every hour; during carnival, being crazy is mandatory. And isn't it great to sometimes just let go and do what you feel like doing? Admit it... when the polonaise is dancing by, you'd love to join in. During carnival, everyone is a friend to everyone and nothing is too crazy! Leave your daily grind at home and enjoy these few days of letting loose. During carnival, you don't have to be ashamed of anything. Guus Meeuwis or the Gebroeders Ko, you can sing along unashamedly. Even if you don't know the lyrics. Standing still is not an option. Everyone from young to old joins in!
