he "Guggen" music players do not join the "Morgenstreich". This event is reserved for all the other groups.
In contrast to this, Tuesday evening belongs only to "Guggen" music (=funny variations of popular songs played by
brass instruments). The "Guggen" concert takes place on the Barfüsserplatz and the Markplatz.
Around 7 p.m., the "Guggen" groups from Kleinbasel walk through Clarastrasse in the direction of the Marktplatz. Then
they give a concert on the Marktplatz and the Barfüsserplatz. Every group plays more or less 15 minutes each without a
long break in between. The concert lasts from 8 p.m. to about 10:30 p.m. After that, they go on playing in the streets
until early in the morning. It is a must for every visitor of carnival in Basel.
