The Lund Carnival – Lundakarnevalen…a total of 400 000 spectators in two days. I enjoyed being there again after all these years (- I believe about 35?). This time because my daughter was participating. More than 1000 students are in the parade and their inventive abilities seem to be inexhaustible…I caught only a few of them.
This celebration of the arrival of Spring started in 1849 and nowadays there are three years between them. The carnival is always built on a theme, and this year it was about our future.
Having Totti at my feet (we couldn’t find a parking in the shadow) I had to move around as best I could…and, in fact I found myself enjoying the spectators inventiveness just as much as the parade itself.

Delightful post Ann Christine. You got the ones on the roof as well! 🙂 .
I did!
Vi åkte med tåget därifrån just när det i princip började. Mycket folk och härlig stämning i stan 🙂
Visst var det!
What a fun day.
🙂 It really was!
You captured much fun there! 🙂
Students are so happy and full of pranks…
GREAT post, so cheery! I would love to go one day !
Well, the carnival is not held so often…In four years it is there again!
That gives me lots of time to plan : ))))
