The city of Samobor in Zagreb County once again becomes a Carnival Republic with numerous street events and various carnival programs in an effort to preserve this centuries-old tradition.

The Samobor Carnival, which will be held for the 191st consecutive time, traditionally ends on Shrove Tuesday (Fat Tuesday) which this year is February 28th.
