Carnaval 2012 Eindhoven - Lampegat

It has been 17.00 and officially carnaval has started. Today thousand of people leave their regular clothes at home and go on having a party in the strangest outfits. The next xouple of days I will try to give some updates and share some pictures.

We all go out tomorrow and I cannot wait!

I forgot to mention all villages in the south now have cool carnaval names (nicknames). Eindhoven (hometown of Philips) is called Lampegat (lampvillage). This just shows how many people love this party and are also anxious to get the party started!



Saturday the parade will take place in Eindhoven/Lampegat a real cool parade you should not miss (if you are around that is!)
Sunday in the centre youth carnaval will take place and there is a band contest.

And off course my favourite salsa cafe has its own caribean program:






These are just two activities but all over Brabant and limburg will be lots of stuff to do!

Be there!
