#vastalaovend

Happy 11/11! 

It’s the 11th of the 11th again which means the Dutch Carnival season has officially started! This season ends on the 5th of March. 

It is mainly celebrated in the southern parts of The Netherlands. It started out as a Catholic party before fasting started in the late Middle Ages. (source: https://npofocus.nl/artikel/7946/hoe-ontstond-carnaval-in-het-zuiden-van-het-land)
