Local Carnival - Pust
Hello, everyone! ๐๐ท
Like every year, on Sunday, 2 March 2025, Ilirska Bistrica hosted a carnival with traditional characters and modern masks. Carnival is part of my town's cultural heritage and also part of the tourist offer.
Twenty-eight groups participated from the surrounding area and Croatia, mainly from Istria and Kvarner.
It's always a feast for the spectators' eyes, a wealth of color for the photographers and videographers, and most of all, one big party that usually lasts from Thursday until the following Wednesday, when it's all over.
Traditional masks have a rich cultural tradition and are some of the oldest in this part of Europe, such as the so-called ล koromati, ล jme, Zvonฤarji, Koranti, and others.
These creatures date back to pagan times, and in all their forms, they chase away winter and prepare us for spring.
There are also groups with modern, contemporary, up-to-date, fun, and engaging masks.

Everyone was in that parade, even Shrek came out of the swamp to celebrate the carnival.
Nice pictures
Haha, yes. A lot of masks from popular movies.๐
There are some really creative costumes in your collection... I don't know why, but I found those with baby strollers the creepiest... lol...

Thank you. Yeah, that with the baby strollers are creepy. I think their source is in the Venetian masks. The Venetians were rulers here in the Middle Ages.
I loved the costumes, some of the most traditional ones look like the ones in my country. I also see similar modern topics, hehe. Star Wars can't miss Carnival! ๐
Ps. Have I seen a corridor of the Pamplona running of the bulls? ๐คฃ๐คฃ
Maybe, a few bulls and cows were running around ๐๐ฎ๐๐ค ๐๐

This wonderful carnival cultural event is all about great joy. Where adults, including small children, have different styles of dressing. Also I am really happy and inspired to see this amazing scene by showing the video.
Yes, it's a cultural heritage passed down from generation to generation.
Yea
