Fasching is one of the few times each year the normally staid Germans let loose and have some fun. Traditionally, it is a time to act out, caricature government officials and just blow off some steam without fear of reprisals - all in good fun. The Fasching season begins at the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month. This gives the Fasching Guilds in Germany plenty of time to create elaborate masks and costumes for the big celebration on the last night of the season before the fasting of Lent begins.

In Alpine Village of Helen, we too celebrate the last night of Fasching with a feast, music and merriment. So gather your friends and pick a theme. Bring your costumes and table decorations and help us celebrate Mardi Gras - German style.
