Civijaški Carnival

Čivijaški Carnival in Šabac is an international event of satire, humour, and carnival spirit. It has been held since 2008 under the patronage of the City of Šabac and organised by the Šabac Tourism Organisation and the “Čivijaški Carnival” Association. The carnival attracts participants and visitors from various countries, showcasing a vibrant array of floats, costumes, and performances that celebrate creativity and wit. Each year, the event promises a lively atmosphere filled with laughter, music, and the joyous spirit of community. This year, the carnival will be celebrated together with the traditional Čivijada, from September 18 to 20, 2025. Thanks to its reputation and continuity, Šabac hosted the convention of the Federation of European Carnival Cities (FECC) in 2018, further solidifying its place on the European carnival map as a full member. This year marks the carnival’s 18th anniversary, and a large number of carnival groups from both Serbia and abroad are expected to join the festivities.
