Fasching is the German version of Carnivale or Mardi Gras. They have parades and everyone dresses up all crazy. We went to one of the smaller parades in Ramstein village so it had much more of a 'small town' parade feel to it, but thousands of people showed up! The kids had a lot of fun although there were a few tears from hard candy hitting the kids heads!
Apparently, Smurfs are HUGE over here! All the ice cream shoppes even have smurf-flavored ice cream... now I don't really understand that... but there you go! 
Each little village had a prince and princess plus a team like this (all with similar outfits) that marched through the streets.
