The Dubrovnik Carnival-Fest is an international cultural-entertaining event with rich carnival content which was held at the attractive city locations from 4 February to 6 March 2011 under the patronage of the city of Dubrovnik and the Tourist Community of the City of Dubrovnik. The Carnival-Fest is a unique combination of carnival and music festival, which has a potential of growing into a recognisable and not to be missed regional and Mediterranean event in several years from now.

With its tradition originating from ancient times, Rijeka has grown into a main carnival city in Croatia. These days the city gates were closed for every serious matter, and open for colourfulness and careless joy. This year also, from 17 January to 9 March 2011, the carnival madness infected everyone in the city. The immense quantity of masks, under which everyone forgets the sorrow in a second, spread good humour through the city streets for days, and the highlight of the Carnival was the world-known International Carnival Procession.
