It is rich in culturally speaking, very much creative and making energy to the local people and tourist who are rushing from different part of the world to watch this wonderful three-day event. It is also included to the Top Fifty Local Festivals in Europe.
The quality and wonderfulness are the reason for the success of the carnival. Hand-painted lanterns with thousands of costumed pipers and drummers create a flow of energy into you.
