The 11th of the 11th: The starting shot for carnival
- 2 min reading time
Yesterday was the day: the 11th of the 11th! For many Dutch people this means only one thing - the official start of the carnival season.
In cities like Maastricht, Venlo and 's-Hertogenbosch the party starts. Thousands of partygoers come together to celebrate this special day. But why exactly the 11th of the 11th?
The number 11 is known in carnival tradition as the 'crazy number'. It symbolizes the start of a period in which the normal rules do not apply and everyone can be crazy. Handy fact: this date falls exactly 11 weeks before the Sunday before Ash Wednesday, when the real carnival begins.
