17 January – 6 February 2010 | The Kastav carnival takes place annually between St Anthony's day (17 January) and Ash Wednesday (6 February). Participating villages are represented by the Zvoncari, groups of people wearing grotesque masks and sailor's outfits with lamb pelts over their shoulders.

During parades, groups perform different dances, ringing the bells attached to their belts and colliding with each other to ensure maximum noise!
