The Carnival of Messolonghi is an institution that counts 32 years now.

   The official events of the carnival begin in February with a plethora of carnival events such as carnival dances, costume parties and the hunting of the hidden treasure.

  The city continues to live in the carnival rhythms until the last weekend of Carnival, with the night parade of the crews on Saturday and the great parade on Sunday.

  The parade takes place all along the Street of the Free Besieged, which is flooded with young and old people who dance to the carnival music.

 The celebration continues on the main square of Messolonhgi, where all groups give dance shows, until the burning of King Carnival and the throwing of the fireworks.
