CONDITIONS OF ENTRY FOURTEENTH BLAGOLAZH NATIONAL MEETING of STORY-and-JOKE-TELLERS - 2011 / PRIZEWINNERS CARNIVAL OF HUMOUR AND SATIRE Present day Gabrovo carnival of humour is firmly rooted in old-time local traditions and festivities like Oleliynya and the fancy-dress parties of the 1920s. This singular carnival made possible the integration of Gabrovo town into the large family of carnival cities and members of the Foundation of European Carnival Cities. Held annually in May, the carnival procession draws thousands of guests and participants from Bulgaria and abroad. The emblematic Gabrovo cat ceremoniously gets its tail cut off thus giving a start to the procession and leading off the joyous, boiterous and motley columns of dressed up people along the city streets. In high spirits and masked, you are welcome to join us on May 15, 2010. WORLD FINE ARTS EXHIBITIONS AND COMPETITIONS The House of Humour and Satire is pleased to furnish all who might be interested with the addresses of current fine arts exhibitions and competitions held all over the world.
