Well, I guess it depends on your perspective. I don't know about most countries, but in the US it is primarily a celebration of commerce --- e.g. the exchange of a string of shiny beads (that cost $1 per 1,000 or so...) for the public exposure of (hopefully) hot breasts. It's a beautiful thing.
Though I hear it used to be a way to blow off steam on the eve of Lent.

Hey Withnail,
Believe it or not, there is some culture over here! Super Bowl Sunday, Valentines Day, Presidents Day, Labor Day, Memorial Day, and offcourse, the 4th of July (to celebrate our independence from the Brits)!
Tot ziens

Man, if trading a trinket for a live look at a nice pair of tits, on the street, isn't the height of culture, I don't know what is! :)

It is celebrated in the south, most notably Maastricht. Nearby German hotspots for "Fasching" are found in Koeln(Cologne) and Duesseldorf. I think events go through next Tuesday. Rozenmontag (next Monday) is big in Koeln.
