The theme of the Carnival each year reflects the current situation in Namibia which is then caricatured in the way floats are decorated. The theme also runs through all the items on the entertainment list that forms part of all the special events on the agenda.<br \/>\nIn true German style hundreds of litres of beer, oompah music and excellent entertainment are on the agenda when the annual Windhoek Carnival season starts.<br \/>\nIn true carnival tradition, BIWAK \u2013 the prelude to WIKA, as the Windhoek Carnival is affectionately known happened on 30 March. The Umzug or street procession that happened today is the next highlight on the itinerary which is followed by the Children\u2019s Karnival, the Masked Ball, Ladies Night, International Evening and the Kehraus after party to name but a few.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-262957 alignleft\"
