    Hi Bingobrian,

    According to the latest news, Fasnacht events in the major towns such as Basel and Lucerne would still take place in spring next year. However these would be scaled-down versions of the previous Fasnachts.

    The organisers are still considering alternative ideas and new strategies to ensure the carnivals take place without putting great risk to public health.

    Having said that, things may change depending on how the pandemic situation unfolds in the next few months.
