Cervera dresses up for Carnival

As every year, the traditional Carnival Parade has filled the streets of Cervera with people of all ages dressed up with the most original costumes.

This year, the event took place the 18^th of February on the city streets, and more than 400 people participated in a total of 8 “comparses”.

The parade was headed with the Carnival King and some scarecrow, from the local theatre company Greep Teatre. It was followed by the music of the Bombollers, that plays percussion, and the “comparses”.

They walked through the city centre until the sports hall, where the Carnival King made a speech, and then some representatives of the city hall gave the prizes to the best costumes. The first prize was for Josep Arques School, where some of its students were dressed up as pencils; followed by “Agrupament Escolta i Guia Coll de les Savines”, who were dressed as "jack-in-the-boxes",  and “Coral infantil Nova Cervera”, who took in a western theme.

Finally, the party ended with a dinner with all the participants and music.
