The Highland Carnival in Bukowina (February)
A several-day-long folk event takes place in February.
It is started by a colourful procession of horse drawn vehicles, carol singers, dancing groups and people in all types of disguise. In early afternoon, a gigantic traffic jam is formed in Bukowina – the participants of the party stop cars. They wish everyone health and the best of luck and in return they expect to receive a small payment for crossing the village. If you have no change in your pocket, it is better to steer clear of Bukowina on this day.
St. Valentine’s Day in Chełmno (February)
