Kurenti, the traditional costumed figures, are putting on their bells for the first time this year on Candlemas to launch Kurentovanje, Slovenia’s largest carnival.
However, there will be no mass gathering of the Kurenti, and the entire festival will be held mostly in a virtual form for the second year in a row. The opening event, called Kurent’s Jump, will see the Kurenti gather in small groups at their homes at midnight instead of gathering all together around a bonfire.
