ZAGREB, Jan 25 (Hina) - The international carnival of Rijeka that
has a 100-year-long tradition, will take place in the Croatian port
town from 31 January to 10 February this year.
Rijeka tourism workers represented the carnival's programme
in Zagreb on Saturday and called Zagreb citizens to take part in
the forthcoming festivities.
A parade of Rijeka masquers made the way through Zagreb
central square at noon to show carnival customs of the Rijeka area.
The Rijeka area has five traditional carnivals.
Last year's carnival in the city of Rijeka attracted 108
international carnival groups, and 100,000 people watched it on
TV, tourism workers said.
They announced that many carnival groups from abroad would
participate in this year's festivities in Rijeka as well.
