The Carnival stands for joy, fun, colours, customs, stories, decompression, disguise! However, once upon a time, there was a boy in Vamvakou that every time the Carnival was around the corner, he would always get sad as his family had no money to buy him a costume. So, once, at that time of the year, in order to cope with his loneliness, he thought of going to the woods where the trees dance and the animals sing. But he got lost! So, all the villagers went out anxiously to look for him. When they found him, they decided to create all together a costume for him made of the elements of nature – a beautiful disguise costume, a special costume full of love!
So, put on the craziest thing you can find, the thing that makes you feel free and let’s get lost in the woods of Mount Parnon and create all together the costume of love with components that nature offers generously!
In case of rain, bring along your rainboots, umbrella and raincoat! And who knows? We might get lucky and play with mud!
