The Carnival of Crete is a lively celebration that takes place annually. This year, the carnival is scheduled to take place on March 17th. Cities and villages celebrate it with colorful parades, festive costumes, folk dances, and other activities. Participants dress up in traditional or imaginative outfits, creating a joyful atmosphere in the streets. The carnival reflects Cretan history and culture through theatrical representations and the use of traditional masks. The festivities often climax with spectacular closing ceremonies and fireworks, providing everyone with a vibrant and colorful experience. 🥳💃🏻
