Participants wearing brightly-colored costumes and painted, wooden masks participate in the “Nassereither Schellerlaufen” parade to chase away winter on February 17, 2019 in Nassereith near Telfs, Austria. The event dates back 270 years, only occurs every three years and is part of Shrove Tuesday tradition common across the Alemannic region of western Tyrol, Switzerland, Alsace and southwestern Germany. Shrove Tuesday, called Fasnacht in German, is celebrated with similar parades throughout the region in the weeks before the actual Shrove Tuesday date, which this year is March 5.
