The only thing we do at the time of carnival is having parties and enjoying ourselves in private rather than in public. There are also carnival balls organised for children (they are organised inside buildings ). However, the balls for children are becoming less and less common, at the peak of communism it was such an event for us to be invited to one- there were dancing, a lot of games and sweets of different kind to be won.
