Germany, lots of carnival. In many regions the current carnival traditions date back to the Napoleonic era and were originally invented to mock the French. In some regions, they date back way further and are more about warding off evil spirits and shit.
Interesting! Is there an agenda of carnivals available somewhere? Which ones are the biggest ones, or the more unique?
The Basel Fasnacht is also one with a lot of history and has UNESCO World Heritage status
