February and Carnival are a time for looking forward to spring and bidding farewell to winter. Join us this weekend too as part of our Carnival programme!
Carnival is a time for looking forward to spring and driving away winter, which became established in our country during the Middle Ages. The length of the festive season varies from year to year, as its closing date is linked to the date of Easter (it runs from Epiphany to Ash Wednesday). During this period, fancy dress balls and parades are organised, and people enjoy the festival’s most characteristic sweet treat, the carnival doughnut. By this time, around February, we’re all longing for a bit of sunshine and good weather. If you’d like to join us in bidding farewell to winter and burning the ‘dedebáb’ – a folk custom from Somogy – then Katica Tanya is the place for you! There’ll be more Making carnival masks and decorations too!
If you want to be a doughnut-eating champion, you’d better brace yourself, because you’re in for a tough battle.
In addition to the usual activities, you can indulge your creative urges with a creative t-shirt painting session, guaranteed to leave you with a garment you're sure to never see on another. And if you let your imagination run wild, you can create creatures that might even surprise you at the fababa making.
Don’t forget!
