Shrove Tuesday: Fifth season full of traditions in Grieskirchen!

Bad Schallerbach finally brings the crowning conclusion on March 1st with further activities that keep the anticipation for the climax of the carnival alive, reported meinbezirk.at.

Traditional shine

Shrove Tuesday not only attracts many revelers in Austria. In Tossignano, Italy, for example, a charming tradition comes to life. The locals wake up from winter and distribute polenta to all participants with pride and enthusiasm. This festive exchange not only brings the community together, but also transports people to a world full of traditional delicacies and joyful conviviality, as reported by valledelsanterno.it. The festival symbolizes a gathering and a farewell to the frosty winter months.

In many regions, Shrove Tuesday is accompanied by parades and courtship events. This is also the case in Sonnenberg, where the grandiose parade through the city is one of the main attractions. The streets are filled with people in imaginative costumes enjoying the hustle and bustle and lively music. This day marks the last highlight of the carnival season before the Lenten season begins and brings people from different cultures together, as is the case in numerous celebrations.
