at one of its ancient or modern theatres. You can get information
about programs and timetables on major cultural events visiting the
Ministry of Culture.
Carnivals
In various regions of Greece Carnivals are held which have as their
main characteristic the distinctive local color and the people's intention
to keep the tradition alive.
The Carnival celebration usually begins on Tsiknopempti with a series
of cultural, theatrical and other events. The participants are masquerade
parties, float parades, majorettes, ballet groups and music bands
etc. which fill the streets, theatres, cultural centers and squares
of the whole country. The celebrations reach their climax with the
traditional party (Koulouma) on Ash Monday, when a kite-flying spectacle
takes place. |
