Carnivals
- Name:
Naousa's Carnival
- Location:
Naoussa
- Description:
During the days of Carnival, townspeople relive the traditional
custom called Boulas and that of the Janissary-Genitsaros.
There is a parade with traditional and satirical costumes.
The history of the dance group, goes back to 1705. In
that year people of Naoussa, honored the memory of their
young fellow-citizens, who fell in the struggle against
the Turks. They appear during Carnival dressed in the
uniforms of the freedom-fighters with wax masks and breastplates
made out of thousands of silver coins. The costumes, the
music and the dances are all authentic and have been handed
down from generation to generation without any modern
influences. The dance troupes, accompanied by the town
band, dance in the streets and in many of the taverns,
where they are treated to the local wine, apples and other
things to eat. These events begin in the morning and last
until late at night.
