Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: Never failing to disappoint in its exuberance and glory, the wild extravaganza, the Rijeka Carnival was staged on 19 February 2023.
Held at the beginning of Lent, before Ash Wednesday in the Catholic calendar, the carnival is the largest in Croatia attracting 100s of participants from all parts of Europe and further afield to flaunt their stuff. 2008 had a record number of 150,000 visitors. This year marks its 40th anniversary and boasted around 100 groups. The carnival originated a century ago when this area was the most passionate about the Masquerade (Maškare or Mesopust), and carnival parades and balls hosted Austro Hungarian, Russian and German aristocrats and royalty. In 1982 it was reignited, but only had three groups. This year provided a feast for the eyes as the floats paraded by and people came from all parts of the country and the world to enjoy the spectacle and party. Svojom raskošnošću i slavom, Riječki karneval je bio održan 19. veljače. Ovo je prvi dio divlje ekstravagancije koju sam snimila. Održava se prije Čiste srijede po i početka korizme i najveći je karneval u Hrvatskoj. Privlači veliki broj sudionika iz svih dijelova Europe, a mnogi dolaze i iz daljih krajeva kako bi se predstavili. 2008. godine zabilježio je rekordnu brojku od 150.000 posjetitelja. Ove godine obilježava se 40. obljetnica karnevala i može se pohvaliti sa oko 100 grupa. Počeci karnevala datiraju od prije jednog stoljeća kada su u ovom kraju bile najveće maškare, a održavale su se karnevalske povorke i balovi na kojima su gostovali austrougarski, ruski i njemački aristokrati i plemstva. Godine 1982. ponovno se rasplamsao, ali prodefilirale su samo tri grupe. Ova je godina pružila praznik za oči jer su kola defilirala, a ljudi su dolazili iz svih dijelova zemlje i svijeta kako bi uživali u spektaklu i zabavi.
