Program
Kurentovanje in Ptuj
3.-13. februar 2024
Lonely Planet singled out Kurentovanje as one of the ten best carnivals in the world, on par with those in Venice, Rio de Janeiro, and New Orleans. The carnival is an excellent opportunity to see not only the door-to-door rounds of Kurents that UNESCO put on its Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, but to also observe a number of folk and carnival parades, meet traditional and modern carnival characters, go to a masquerade and so much more. Kurentovanje features a number of parades, the carnival promenade, presentations of traditional costumes, concerts, masquerade balls, exhibitions, and so much more, divided into ArtFest, EtnoFest, and KarnevalFest.

A night spectacle

Na Ptuju je slovo od pusta še posebej praznično. Opoldne odložimo delo in se pridružimo zabavam v mestu ter njegovih lokalih. Tudi vi se pridružite edinstvenemu urbanemu pustovanju, ki se zavleče v pozne večerne ure. Odvijeta se tudi predaja oblasti in pokop pusta.
