A little about Riječki Karneval..

For many who have never heard of this carnival which is one of the town's biggest event of the year. The centre of the town will have stages set up for international DJs and performers for the final day of the carnival.
The whole celebration starts sometime around now for the children. It is pretty similar to Halloween when the children dress up in costumes or wear masks and visit homes asking for candies. Well.. if you are in town now, you will see spiderman or batman asking for candies or small change. It can be pretty annoying when children will ring your doorbell for 5 times just to get your attention. Most of them usually get nothing after buzzing several flats.
Adults should educate their children not to visit homes to ask for candies as we never know who's behind those doors. The whole emphasis of this event should be on the party spirit. Have fun dressing up and not about asking adults for cash.
That's all for now. Will be back with more information once the big celebration gets closer. :)

I would say that adults should educate children not to ask for anything, not during Halloween or anytime. Nothing is free in this world.

You are right. But I would encourage my children to dress up for festivals. I rem I had the most fun dressing up when I was a child! :)
