Rethymno Carnival!
A visually unique and famous Cretan Carnival
Come and experience the energetic Carnival of Rethymno!
This year, the theme of the Rethymno Carnival is "Bringing People Together," inviting everyone to participate and engage in the cultural festivities, music, dance, and gastronomy.
It's an opportunity for individuals to come together, reconnect with old friends, and forge new connections while reveling in the vibrant and creative celebrations.
Preparations are underway for the Rethymnon Carnival, with 27 groups gearing up for the exciting events.
The focus of this year's carnival is on Getting Together as a way to express creativity and spread positive vibes.
Rethymno's rich history as a meeting point between East and West has made its people outgoing and friendly.
Known for its unique style, the Rethymno Carnival is considered one of the most creative carnivals in Greece.
After the grand opening last week, everyone is getting into the production spirit with new carnival customs and presentations from the carnival groups.
To make information more accessible, the municipality has updated the website, www.rethymnocarnival.gr, where you can stay updated on all the events. Additionally, they're teaming up with the the Organization "The Smile of the Child" to spread meaningful messages.
