In looking at the various clubs available in Germany, I ran across references to “Narrenzünfte” which I saw translated as “fools’ guilds.” I found the website for one of them here:

Anyone know what the meetings of these groups involve? I get a mental picture of everyone running around like the dwarf in the “Safety Dance” video:

Narrenzünfte are mostly engaged with Fasching / Karneval / whatever local name you want to use. Honestly, I can’t imagine day-to-day affairs are too exciting, there’s probably a lot of money management to do for the bigger ones, and a non-trivial amount logistical planning.
Karneval / Fasching is kind of hard to describe, so have a [Wikipedia Article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnival#Germany,_Switzerland,_and_Austria).
