There are many wonderful things about Slovenia and its culture that I have come to love since moving here, and Kurentovanje is one of them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Originating in one of Slovenia’s oldest cities, Ptuj, this festival is a culturally rich and vibrant celebration meant to scare away winter. It is part of the celebration of Pust<\/a> leading up to Shrove Tuesday. Regional variations of this celebration happen across Slovenia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
