Carnival Theme 2010 - "Mars & Venus"

Mars and Venus are the carnival theme of the year, and by this the contradictions and duality found in a contrast-filled and globalized world is in focus. You can find inspiration in John Gray's famous book "Men are from Mars & Women from Venus", that takes up the issue how to unite with your contradictions- including the opposite sex.

Acceptance and appreciation of your opposits, is the foundation of being able to agree in a multicultural world that has many different dimensions. Even though Mars and Venus represent their own category, between contradictions there are a force of attraction that overshadows the differences. Be ready for a magnificent party that focus duality and attraction!

This year’s theme captures the essence of the carnival: Duality, tolerance, imagination and attraction. 

Get inspired by the theme this year and release your imagination to make the most awesome costume off all time. We look forward to seeing you at the biggest costume party of the year!

Below this you find suggestions for next year's costumes, and if you have got any ideas, we encourage you to participate in the debate on facebook here.

God of love and war 
In ancient Rome the planets represented each their god. Venus was the goddess of love, while the god of war Mars represented masculinity and belligerent behavior. Let you be inspired by the gods and find your inner warrior or goddess of love...
