Groppenfasnacht, Ermatingen
During Lent, the Thurgovian village of Ermatingen celebrates its Groppenfasnacht, or fish carnival. The carnival gets its name from the main character of the event, the Gropp, a fish, 10-15 cm in length, which is caught only in the Ermatingen area. The Groppenfasnacht is the latest carnival in the world, three weeks before Easter. Some members of the official committee seem to wear a #RedFez. Spooky.
