Solothurner Fasnacht Cortege 2010 by Mark Sukhija

By: Mark Sukhija

Today, I attended, for the first time, the Solothurner Fasnacht. I've long been a fan of Schaffhausen - Switzerland's finest baroque city.

I've attended the Fasnacht celebrations in Luzern this year and in Basel over the years and found the Soloturner Fasnacht Cortege to be one of the most convivial of the three. Although the Basler Morgenstreich remains, by far, the most unique.
