Glöckler, Perchten, Maschkera and Trommelweiber
The fifth season has a lot going on. Everywhere.
The Perchten parades, that can sometimes seem pretty wild indeed, are held in just about all federal states and are an indispensable part of carnival. Sometimes Perchten and Glöckler from different federal states will come together for a joint parade. And the magical Rauhnächte, the night before St Thomas’ Day, Christmas Eve, New Year’s Eve and the night before Epiphany, are also major dates in the calendar.
