11,000 Carnival revellers march through central Rijeka

Author: Vojo Micak

ZAGREB, Feb 23 (Hina) - An international Carnival parade involving over 11,000 masked revellers marched through the streets of the northern Adriatic city of Rijeka on Sunday as the main event of the Carnival season.

A total of 116 groups, including 14 groups from other Croatian regions and 24 groups from abroad, took part in the pageant. Among the foreign groups were those from past and future European Capitals of Culture: Galway (Ireland), Esch (Luxembourg), Kaunas (Lithuania), Novi Sad (Serbia), Veszprem (Hungary), and the Italian region of Matera, as well as groups from other European cities, India, Japan and the United States.

The event drew numerous spectators, accredited reporters from Croatia and Europe, and organised groups of tourists from all over the world.

In the evening, after the end of the parade, the master of the Carnival will return the city's key to the mayor, and the Pust, a Carnival dummy that personifies everything bad that happened in the previous year, will be ceremoniously burnt in the harbour.
