The Tuesday before the beginning of Lent, is also known as Carnival, Mardi Gras, Shrove Tuesday or Fat Tuesday. Go to the celebrations and enjoy the colorful and lively parades. Watch the Czech people change their normally serious personalities while in costume. For this one day they set aside their aversion to loud noise and drawing attention and “let their hair down” to have a great time. Join the people in masks and costumes singing and dancing on the streets, feast on pork and drink lots of beer. There are several parades around the city. Some of the celebrations are earlier in February.
