Lampegat cancels opening carnival season | Inland

Celebrating Elluf Elluf in Lampegat, as Eindhoven is called during carnival time, could pose risks to public health, according to the federation. “Compliance with the measures and the advice also increases the chance of a great carnival party in 2021! Let’s all burn a candle for that ”, the federation said in a statement.

The decision to skip the carnival on November 11 without the kick-off of the carnival follows the cancellation of changes of princes by Lampegat associations, the federation said. As a result, the so-called Klets! Evening is also postponed for a year. This is a well-attended meeting where so-called barrel talkers with crazy characters and bizarre stories make absurd jokes.

In Limburg and Brabant, carnival traditionally opens on 11 November (the 11th of the 11th). In Limburg, the provincial kick-off will be held in Roermond for the first time this year. It is not yet clear whether this will take place. Previously, the Limburg 11th of the 11th was always on the Vrijthof in Maastricht, but the municipality of Maastricht wanted to get rid of it.
