The Basler Fasnacht starts on the Monday after Ash Wednesday at precisely 4:00am with the so-called Morgestraich ( see below). The carnival lasts for exactly 72 hours and, therefore, ends on Thursday morning at 4:00am. During this time the Fasnächtler (the participants) dominate the old town of central Basel, running free in the streets and restaurants. Basler Fasnacht is often referred to as die drey scheenschte Dääg ("the three most beautiful days"). It may have officially started at 11.11am on November 11, but carnival in Germany gets into full swing in the coming days, starting with Fat Thursday (Weiberfastnacht) on February 16. But what exactly is carnival? Where does Karneval end and Fasching begin? And where, now we’re on the subject, does Fastnacht come in? The lantern farewell ( Ladärne Verabschiide) is performed by the Cliques on the final evening of the Fasnacht, normally starting at 4:00am on Thursday but sometimes earlier. Each Clique has a specific ritual for the farewell, most of which involve forming a circle with their lanterns and chanting a particular musical composition. Popular compositions are the Wettsteinmarsch, the Tagwacht, the Retraite, the Basler Marsch and "le Lancier". During this chanting, the lanterns are gradually extinguished. Brazilian groups are appreciated for their elaborate feathered and sequined costumes. However, they are not eligible for competition since the costumes do not change over time. [ citation needed]

The word is said to come from the Late Latin expression carne levare, which means "remove meat"; a folk etymology derives it from carne vale, "farewell to meat". In either case, this signifies the approaching fast. [13] The word carne may also be translated as flesh, producing "a farewell to the flesh", a phrase embraced by certain Carnival celebrants to embolden the festival's carefree spirit. [13] The etymology of the word Carnival thus points to a Christian origin of the celebratory period. [11]
