The Carnival of Patra is tradition in Greece and everybody, not just the children are waiting for the festivities to begin!
The chariots, every year, are a special spectacle with themes taken from what is going on at the time in country and around the world.

On February 24th at 20:30′ everyone in Patra will have the chance to them on the parade in Saint George Square while on Saturday the 25th at 18:00′ the all night parade will take place. Finally on Sunday the 26th the official final Great Parade will start at 14:00′.

The crisis will again be the main theme of the parade with lots of humor of course. The chariot with the figure of the King of the Carnival will depict him on a ship dragged by common people and on the wheel the captain will be a stock exchange broker as the representative of international capitalism.

A total of seven main chariots will parade on Sunday.
