The Maslenica Folk Festival was celebrated to welcome the Spring Season. Its usually falls on the following dates - 1st week of March or mid of the month. This holiday is very much similar to the "Western Christian Carnival" or to "Mardi Gras". Usually this sun festival comes after the Christian Season of Lent, and symbolizes the end of the winter season and the coming of the Spring as mentioned earlier. One of the oldest traditions of this festival is making of a straw doll, dressed in old women clothing, decorated with colorful ribbons & laces that is later put on a wooden pyre to torch symbolizing farewell to the winter, and all old ill luck. In this festival, a key ingredient is the making of pancakes along with the festive dances where everyone holds each others hands in a circle and moves around the fire. They also play streets & alleys and take part in various competitions.
