The traditional and rich-in-concept Roztoky Carnival (Masopust) is one of the most significant cultural events in the Czech Republic, the fame of which goes beyond the city of Roztoky. Every year, the festival is attended by several thousand participants. Let's visit Masopust 2024!

Masopust in Roztoky u Prahy is a special phenomenon. It started as a small local event by a small group of people, and in twenty years, it has grown into a unique living event attended by people from far and wide. It's photographed by great photographers, written about by journalists, and studied by folklorists - because it's supposedly the only carnival this big that is real and alive - fed from within by the energy and imagination of a community of local people and their friends. And 2017 was its twentieth year, which isn't a small number either.

Masopust in the Czech Republic:
Masopust, or the time of carnivals, used to be in the past from the Twelfth Night until Ash Wednesday. A Lenten period begins on Ash Wednesday before Easter. A fancy dress fun held as a rule on Lenten Tuesday is the culmination of Masopust. The name carnival is synonymous with masopust, but masopust is currently used to mark the carnival festivity.
Masopust, and especially the few last days of this period (fašank, končiny), was an official holiday of feasting for people in the past. During these days, people were supposed to eat their fill. Therefore, substantial dinner parties were held. Then, the forty days long Lent followed, and primarily lentils, baked potatoes, eggs, cheese, and boiled semolina were consumed.
In some regions, a ceremonial procession of masks is a part of the festivity, which goes through a village with music. In many places, liquor, eggs, ham, or doughnuts are collected and consumed later in a pub during a village party. In identical processions, serious attention is given to dance, mainly to the ceremonial dances of young men called "bobkovníci" or "Turci." During the party, other ceremonial dances are performed. These are called "na len" or "žabská." In many other localities, the festivity is made without these formal components. There is only the presentation of masks left, and it is a form of popular rural amusement connected with one particular date.
The word fašank is created by mangling the German word Fasching, which has the same meaning. The word carnival comes from Roman languages, precisely from a connection between carne (meat) and vale (leave). This word formation describes when the meat is already eaten, and nothing is left. Another interpretation might be hidden behind the Latin words "Carrus Navyis," which means a ship of Fools.

Wonderful to see the amazing costumes and celebration of Masopust! I may have missed seeing, but I thought Slivovitz was consumed (along the way) by the adults to make the festival even more joyful? Regardless, thank you for sharing Vladimir!

[@jeanneknight4791]

I saw at least 10 people with their bottles in the earlier crowd of the parade!

[@helenadocherty1603]

With bottles of Becherovka too😀

[@dauriashi]

Slivovice is more common in Moravia region, Roztoky is in Central region so beer is more popular here :)

[@mauricevonasek5919]

@@dauriashi Ok....I saw lots of people with pivo (popular everywhere)!
