Basic information

Kastav the carnival starts on the feast of St. Anthony, the 17th of January. During the carnival period, Kastav hosts numerous masked balls and other events, including the Balinjera spust, a downhill race between vehicles that run on ball-bearings instead of wheels. It also welcomes groups of zvončari (bell ringers). On Ash Wednesday, visitors can participate in the ceremony of judging and burning the Pust (straw man that gets blamed for everything that went wrong in the previous year) in Kastav and the villages of Rubeši and Jurčići.
