The traditional Carnival of Fribourg with a big parade in the old town.
The Carnival of Fribourg (also called "Carnaval des Bolzes") has been filling the cobbled streets of the Old Town with colourful parades, Guggenmusik, laughter and fun over 50 years. In addition, more entertainment and a great party atmosphere are in the Old Town's bistros, bars and cellars.
