Rosenmontag (Rose Monday)is the highlight of the German "Karneval" (carnival)in Germany. Celebrations usually include dressing up in fancy costumes, dancing, parades, heavy drinking and general public displays with floats. Every town in the Karneval areas boasts at least one parade with floats making fun of the themes of the day. It is observed mainly in Catholic regions as a season of feasting and fun before the fasting period of Lent.
Children also goes from house to house just like our caroling and the house owner give something in return (chocolates, candies, etc)
