Halfvasten Stoet Maasmechelen 2012

Yesterday we went to Maasmechelen a town in Belgium. Since we are in the south of the Netherlands it is a 1 hour drive. There was a "halfvasten stoet". An international parade like carnaval.


It was a spectacular parade. The cars were very well put together and a sight for the eye! The kids were through the roof, they all went home with shoppingbags full of candy, toys, popcorn,pens.. If you are ever in the neighbourhood you should see this! It always takes places approximately two weeks before easter and it costs about 3 euro but it is well worth it!
