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.
