Rijeka Carnival festivities to start on 17 January

Author: mses
RIJEKA, Jan 14 (Hina) - The 32nd edition of the festivities in the run-up to Lent will begin in Rijeka on 17 January, on the Day of Saint Anthony of the Desert, with the traditional ceremony of raising of the Pust, the carnival doll, in the residential area of Drenova and the Carnival will last until Shrove Tuesday, 17 February, the organisers said at a news conference in that biggest Croatian seaport.

The children's Carnival march is set for 7 February, while the grand masquerade parade will be on 15 February.

Some other events such as the selection of the Carnival Queen, concerts and parties both in Rijeka and other nearby towns will be organised during this pre-Lenten season.

The organisers invite everyone to come to Rijeka, which "is ready to jump into its craziest period, when the Christmas lights in the city centre are replaced with colourful carnival ribbons and when everybody gets to be whomever they want to be, even if only for a short time."
