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.
