Some parents sent their parents through the little gate to collect all the candy that didn’t get caught! Others had umbrellas they held upside down to catch everything 😂 it was amazing!

Awesome
The people of Cologne get the carnival instilled with their mother's milk. The Shrove Monday parade takes about 3 hours (with luck), but you have to be there early, the parade usually takes more than three hours and depending on where you are, the parade will only come to you very late. "Strüssje" means "a small bouquet of flowers" and are usually carnations or tulips. Roses are thrown less. If you want a "Strüssje" you usually only get it in connection with a "Bützchen" (a kiss). Usually kisses on the cheek. Many believe that what is thrown is paid for by the clubs. but it is often the case that the participants save money to buy the throwing material. Greetings from Cologne

Been in a little Karneval Verein as a kid. Actually, we've just been a dancing group for Karneval but also went with parades. And we did have to buy everything ourselves - or well, our parents in this case. I think it's any different with other clubs and the people walking with the Rose Monday parade.
as a Kölsch Mädsche ("cologne girl") I can say this is very accurate
Welcome home
Nice video mam Nice carnival mam

My cousin lives there and says everyone is forced to dress up. Is this true?

Forced is not the right way to put it. You don't have to dress up, but some events (usually you have to buy tickets way befor carnival to go there anyways) make it a requirement and if you dont come in a costume, they can deny your entry. But if you go out like on the streets, pubs etc. you're usually not forced to dress up. Btw. you dont need to wear a full costume. A glitter hat, some face painting / Make up or something with the colours red/white is often accepted as ''dressed up''. So in conclusion: no requirment but if you dont dress up, you kinda feel like a naked person standing in a room full of dressed people hahaha Greetings from Cologne :)
