Discover the vibrant tradition of Maastricht Carnival, a colourful festival that fills the streets of Maastricht (Mestreech) with lively carnival music and a parade of joy. Every year, on the 11th of the 11th, the official countdown to this grand event begins, with the carnival shop being an essential stop for everyone looking for the perfect outfit.<\/p>\n

The carnival parade is the highlight of the celebration, with the iconic ‘Mooswief’ proudly towering above the crowd. The streets of Maastricht become a sea of colours and laughter as the Carnival Prince leads the festivities.<\/p>\n

Between the celebrations, there is always time for delicious food and relaxation in a local hotel, where you can enjoy Limburgian hospitality. And as the evening falls, the city comes alive with the sound of ‘sjingboem,’ as the carnival (vastelaovend) in Maastricht continues into the early hours.<\/p>\n
