Simon (got your name right...),

While the start of Fasnacht is indeed the 11th of Nov, it doesn't really
get going until February, so more or less you are right. Over Christmas
they don't really do anything and in January there are a few scattered
things. The bulk of the festival is indeed the last week, just before Lent.
Here, the town shuts down practically and there is a little parade in front
on my house. We have some good costumes here in the South too!
