ZAG:
Fašnik Carnival - When Zagreb Goes Masked and Marvelous
Destinations
As winter's grip begins to loosen, Zagreb erupts in a riot of color and chaos for Fašnik Carnival (February 15-18). This isn't your typical Mardi Gras - it's a Slavic masquerade where ancient pagan traditions collide with razor-sharp political satire, and where the line between spectator and performer disappears in clouds of flour and confetti.
