As NotAllThere said no flash photography during Morgenstraich

Add to that:
Get your blaggede (sp?) and wear it prominently
Don't throw confetti at the cliques as they parade
Don't get in the way of the bands as they march

otherwise can't think of any others...

Re: Downerbuzz's post: there are two groups of folks in Basel - those that love and those that hate Fasnacht, with little in between. That includes folks from Basel as well...
More rules:

Don't dress up unless you're a participant
Don't pick up confetti and toss it at anyone
Graciously accept any confetti thrown at you, stuffed down your back, etc.

I'm one of those in the latter category, but I have to admit the lanterne are amazing. As it is my last Fasnacht in Basel I'll probably go up to see them on display, but you won't get me near the fuss of the Morgestraich!
