Today is the Gabrovo Carnival. The inhabitants of the city dress up and cut the tail of the dummy cat, a symbol of the capital of laughter. 74 are the fun episodes in the colorful carnival procession, which sets off through the central streets of Gabrovo at 6 p.m.
The children will be the first to pass through the city in a carnival procession, and then they will go on stage to play their favorite Gabrovi jokes, BNR specifies. On the holiday, Gabrovo traditionally hosts the National Carnival Revue of Cats, in which owners from different parts of the country participate with their pets, dressed in costumes.
On the funnest day of the year in the city gardens, caricaturists will set up an impromptu studio and make everyone in their sight laugh with a funny portrait. Carnival make-up stations will await those wishing to transform themselves for the carnival procession.
It will start at 6 p.m. and pass through the central streets of Gabrovo, with the legendary founder of the settlement, Racho Kovača, hitting his anvil with a hammer to signal the beginning. The following are 74 cheerful plots, with which the people of Gabrovo call for "Make a carnival, not a war!".
Distinctive for the procession of pranksters are the large-scale mock-ups, reaching 5 meters in height. The blade of the carnival is political satire and the puppets of our familiar leaders will, as always, make the audience laugh.
