Carnival of Aalst
The Carnival of Aalst (Dutch:''Carnaval Aalst'', local dialect:''Carnaval Oilsjt'') or Aalst Carnival is a yearly three-day event in the Belgian city of Aalst. It recognised by UNESCO as a Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity. The carnival is celebrated in the days preceding Ash Wednesday. It is mainly a street happening; the celebrants dance on the city squares and visit café after café.
== History ==
The Aalst carnival has its origin in the Middle Ages. Cavalcades were held since 1851, yet without organisation by the city council. Only the events starting from 1923 are counted as official editions, as the Aalst city council organized the parade from then on.
In 2004, at the night between the first and second carnival day the event took heavy damage: the float of the group Geloeif Mè Goed burned down entirely. They had to pay a damage compensation of 1,5 million €, or 50,000 € for each member. The costs ran so high that surrounding companies also suffered economic loss. Years after, many other carnival groups supported the unfortunate members.
In 2010 the Aalst carnaval was awarded the status of UNESCO intangible World Heritage.
