Aalst is getting ready for a small-scale café carnival: “’t Go naig werre. Put that in the gazette.”

It will be a strange carnival in Aalst. No prince election, no parade, no fire trucks spraying loud beats over the squares, and yet there are Onions who say that the edition that starts on Sunday could be the cleanest in years. Corona forces a party that was completely bursting at the seams back to its roots: the kafeikes carnival.
