When I arrived in Munster they where starting there yearly celebration of Carnival. Carnival is a city wide parade that every team, organization, and political party participates in. Throughout the city there are parties along the parade route. I went to an area right next to the mayoral building located in the church square. The celebrations start at noon and only take a break when the first parade car starts slowly making its way through the crowd. During the actual parade they throw out necklaces, candies and entire boxes of cookies. After the parade people go back to partying in the streets.
