Be who you want to be. Come to the Lošinj Carnival!
Carnival madness begins, and Kristina is also here!
There is a long and well-known carnival tradition on the entire Kvarner Bay area, including these island. The tradition of wearing masks dates back to prehistory, and it later became known as the Carnival taking its traditional form of entertainment, relaxing, enjoying life. Every Saturday carnival parties are organized in all places on the Island of Lošinj with culmination on last Tuesday with a carnival parade held in the town and the reading of Testament in front of the gathered crowd. It is written in dialect and mentions all important events that happened during the year, giving funny comments from the perspective of an ordinary man. At the end, a puppet that symbolizes „Pust“ is burned at the stake and punished for all sins and pranks committed during the year, that disappear in the ashes along with him.
Challenging the weather and space, the Lošinj Carnival is a friendly host for every willing human who is looking for an escape from sullen everyday life in play, laughter and fun.
Be who you want to be. Come to the Lošinj Carnival!!!
