Nearly 3,000 people were seen with painted blue faces and white caps marching down the streets of Lauchringen, Germany on Saturday, in order to create the world's largest "Smurf gathering." /VCG Photo
The previous record of the Smurf event was set by 2,510 student participants in Wales, UK in 2009. /VCG Photo
According to local media, although the new record of 2,762 participants temporarily confirmed by the Record Institute for Germany, it is still waiting for the seal of approval from the Guinness World Records. /VCG Photo
Since there was a strict rule that only those who dressed as Smurf would be counted, some people painted faces blue at the scene to participate in the gathering. /VCG Photo
