The twenty-fifth Ljubuški carnival
The twenty-fifth Ljubuški carnival will take place from the 5th to the 19th of February, 2023.
The International carnival parade will take place on Sunday, the 19th of February, 2023.
Ljubuški carnival is the biggest winter carnival in Bosnia and Herzegovina. For 100 years the carnival took place in the countryside of Ljubuški and then in 1999 it was officially held in the town for the first time.
The carnival has been organised by “Karnevalsko društvo Prolog”, from the village Prolog, that tends to have the longest tradition of carnival customs in Ljubuški.
The International carnival parade in Ljubuški always takes place on the last Sunday before Lent. For first 18 years it was held locally, but then the groups from other countries started to join and it has become the international carnival. In 2018, “Karnevalsko društvo Prolog” joined the “Federation of European Carnival Cities” (FECC). Since then, the International Carnival parade in Ljubuški has been led by the FECC representatives with the FECC flag.
Ljubuški carnival is very popular within its region. In the town that counts barely 5000 people, attendance at the main carnival programme is always more than 5000. 22 carnival groups (including 10 international) gathered together at the 24th Ljubuski carnival, that took place on the 27th of February 2022.
If there is anything else I can add to this, please feel free to contact me. The photos have been attached.
Best regards
President of “Karnevalsko društvo Prolog”
