For many people in Zug, carnival is the best time of year. It starts on Schmudo, as Dirty Thursday is affectionately known, at 5 o'clock sharp with the Chesslete. Guggenmusigen and carnival revellers transform the town and region into a colorful, noisy sea of colors. The carnival festivities in Zug last until Güdeldienstag and, according to tradition, are supposed to drive away winter or the devil. Come to the Zug carnival and celebrate with us.
