Live summer on the waterfront on Thursday, June 25.

The announced first entertaining gastronomic-musical Wednesday on the waterfront will be held a day later by agreement of the participants, ie on Thursday, June 25, with the same beginning and program with live music and Koperonte. Since the season is just starting and the program is mostly done for the local population, and on Wednesday there are other fairs and festivities on Brač, the organizers decided that such Brač festivities should not coincide when possible, especially in these conditions when everywhere fewer events and people, so we are happy to move Bol’s Živilo lito to Thursday. Congratulations to the people of Brač Sv. Ivana and all the places of Brač, we wish you a successful season, and we invite you all to socialize in Bol on Thursday on the waterfront.
Food summer!
The traditional event that greets summer on the waterfront, known as ŽIVILO LITO, takes place every year around the calendar beginning of summer and opens the season of music and gastronomic programs on the waterfront every Wednesday, but always represents the official opening of Bol Summer.
Bol’s ballerinas will be exchanged on the stage first, and after the locals’ favorite raffle with cash prizes, Bol’s dancers from the Montuno dance school in Brač will perform with hip hop choreography.
Along with the inevitable live music, there will be several surprises.
The program starts at 8 p.m.
Welcome!

13. Međunarodni brački ljetni KARNEVALfest ( 13th International Brač Summer CarnivalFEST)

Kratka povijest karnevala

International Brač CarnivalFest was first organised in Bol, island Brač, Croatia in 2008. as Bol Summer Carnival. This Summer Carnival is primarily a tourist event, quite different from Traditional winter carnivals that Brač has like all Croatian places for many centuries in official carnival season.

At the end of the summer season island, Brač so brings the story of carnival to life with music, dance and cheerful carnivalists. Masked carnival participants present their groups, their places, cities and countries to the locals and tourists who are still vacationing in Brač.

CarnivalFEST slowly expanded to the whole island so we have 6 days of different carnivals on the island. Everything traditionally begins in Bol with Carnival opening and charity evening for children with difficulties in growth „Brački pupoljci“. At the carnival party in the centre of Bol carnivalists and hosts prepare cakes and food, bring souvenirs and drinks and all the money after-sale goes to these Associations. In this year 2019 Bol Cultural Center organized an additional charity prize lottery and together with other contributions a total of 28.260,00 Kuna / 4000 EUR was collected for children. This HUMANITARIAN CARNIVAL EVENING is actually the most beautiful Carnival story of this special Carnival on island Brač.

Thanks to the Municipality of Bol which is from 2012, a member of the Federation of European Carnival Cities (FECC), Bol with its International summer carnival enrolled at the map of European Carnivals. The organizer of this carnival is Bol Cultural Center.

The Mayor of the Municipality of Bol Tihomir Marinković and Director of the Center for Culture Ivana Bošković Ivičić always prepare a reception for FECC members and leaders of carnival groups at Sunday before carnival parade.

The 12th International Carnival Parade in Bol brought a lot of joy, colourful carnival costumes, beautiful presentations, but also a lot of audiences. There were 16 carefully selected FECC carnival groups from 8 countries. The festivity and fun continued late in the night.

The carnival events are always held also in other places on island Brač.

The International Brač Summer CarnivalFEST is a great event with an international character and good vibes. A wonderful event with positive energy that connects Island Brač and all participant countries.

From 13th till 19th September 2019

CarnivalFEST traditionally begins in Bol with Carnival opening and charity evening for children with disabilities „Brački pupoljci“. At the carnival party in the centre of Bol carnivalists and hosts prepare cakes and food, bring souvenirs and drinks and all the money after-sale goes to these Associations. Bol Cultural Center organized an additional charity prize lottery and together with other contributions, a total of 28.260,00 Kuna was collected for children with disabilities. This HUMANITARIAN CARNIVAL EVENING is actually the most beautiful Carnival story of this special Carnival on island Brač.

The Summer Carnival is primarily a tourist event, quite different from Traditional winter carnival that Brač has like all Croatian places for many centuries. At the end of the season, Brač comes to life with music, dance and cheerful carnivalists. This year groups and guests came from 9 countries – Croatia, Slovenia, Macedonia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Italy, Germany and Turkey. Masked carnival participants, with music and choreography, present their groups, their places, cities and countries to the locals and tourists who are still vacationing in Brač.

The Mayor of the Municipality of Bol Tihomir Marinković and Director of the Center for Culture Ivana Bošković Ivičić prepared a reception for FECC members and leaders of carnival groups at Sunday before carnival parade. In that occasion, Aleksandar Cicimov as general treasurer and I as Vice-president on behalf of FECC International Board awarded them with big FECC medals.

At the beginning of the carnival parade, I also awarded Municipality of Bol with memorial FECC plaque „Memoriam Vivat“ on the main stage. The 12th International Carnival Parade in Bol brought a lot of joy, colourful carnival costumes, beautiful choreographies, but also a lot of audiences. There were 16 carefully selected FECC carnival groups from 8 countries. The festivity and fun continued late in the night.

The carnival events were successfully held in four other places on island Brač – in Supetar on Saturday, then on Monday in Sutivan, on Tuesday in Sumartin and ended on Wednesday in Milna. The International Brač Summer Carnival is a great event with an international character and good vibes. A wonderful event which, with positive energy, connects all Brač. We, who have been following this carnival since the first year, and I can say that it was the best-organized carnival so far with the largest number of FECC guests from 9 countries as well as the highest number of visitors.

Warmly thank our excellent hosts Mayor Tihomir Marinković and director Ivana Bošković Ivičić for their hospitality and congratulations on the excellent organization of the 12th International CarnivalFest in Bol.

Josip Silov.
