Safety regions: Carnival associations, come up with alternatives

The three Brabant safety regions are calling on carnival associations to come up with alternatives to carnival. “Just as Sinterklaas committees think about how Saint Nicholas could possibly be caught up online or in another way, so we can also look at the celebration of carnival with creativity,” says a joint statement.

It is clear to the security regions that Carnival cannot be celebrated in 2021 as in previous years, but they cannot ensure that it is banned. “Just as we cannot decide that Christmas will not take place. We do appeal to the creativity of our carnival associations.”

The regions say they understand the festival and the associated traditions. “But public health is number one. Always. Indisputable. And the emergency regulation that is in force at that time is leading. After all, we do not know how the corona virus will develop in the coming months.”

Associations can come up with plans until December 1 at the latest.
