About
On the Sunday following Ash Wednesday, the small town of Liestal in Basel-Landschaft puts on a spectacular display of bonfires and torch-lit processions using dried wood torches (Kienbesen). This dramatic and fiery prelude to Basel's carnival is particularly impressive for its pyrotechnic traditions. A unique and visually striking folk celebration.
