Valentine’s Day forces, couples will be in the spotlight this Friday, February 14 at the opening of the Estavayer Carnival. After the capture of the municipal authorities for the delivery of the keys to the city and the presentation of the count and countess of the year, a category of the mask competition will be specially reserved for them.
“For the rest of the weekend, the program promises to be standard with a procession of children on Saturday and a carnival parade with several new floats on Sunday”, presents Edgar Marques, co-president of an event whose budget rises to 120,000 francs. For security reasons, Socarest, which organizes the event, will charge a cash payment for entry under the canteen on Saturday.
Before seeing eight Guggenmusik invade the medieval city under the theme “Fifty shades of confetti”, the carnival atmosphere has already swept over Estavayer in recent days. Carnival newspaper, the “Barboutzet” left the press last Saturday and made Eric Chassot, favorite in the union, the man of the year. While launching tracks for the future of fish farming, the duck also makes the obituary of the current trustee, André Losey, known as “Dédé La Lose”, qualifying his resignation as the only good decision of his mandate. All this probably because of the 5G antenna housed in the bell tower of the Collegiate Church.
“We have checked all the documents and the tour will be monitored by the committee”
Daubers should also give the city its carnivalesque face, the night of Thursday to Friday. “We have checked all the documents and the tour will be monitored by the committee,” concludes Edgar Marques as a reminder of the depredations of 2018.
