This parade, that starts from the waterfront area, arrives at the historic center where Masha and Bear will be there to welcome children and their families for a fun and playful moment. Children also will have the chance to take a souvenir photo with the characters.

Sunday and Tuesday feature the parade of paper and flower floats and masked groups, while Monday features dialect poems recited by some authors. Tuesday evening concludes with the awards ceremony for the winners of the categories listed above, the big dance party and the burning of the CARNIVAL KING.

The non-ticketed event is expected to attract over 40 thousand visitors and promo support from national media coverages.
