Bakar would not be an old Kvarner town if it didn’t have a carnival! As elsewhere in the northern Adriatic, carnival brings a lot of positive energy, creativity, and good mood to the Bakar region. Carnival associations organize masquerade dances and carnival processions for children, while the most impressive event is certainly the parade of Zvončari (“bellmen”) called “Bells and Carols of the Bakar” (Cro. „Zvona i kanat za bakarski kraj“). In short, Bakar is the place to be at the beginning of the year!
