CARNIVAL OF CHILDREN'S SMILES
If you visit Konjic in the last week of the year, then you will probably witness the New Year’s cultural brand of the Konjic city. It is about the “Carnival of Children’s Smiles”, the most beautiful New Year’s fairy tale in Konjic, which thanks to new contents and activities, from year to year has an increasing number of children participate. This event entertains the kids, combining their interests, skills and euphoria, in sharing joy, games and surprises, with each other.
The event is usually supported by the municipality of Konjic, police Department Konjic, companies, shops, media, citizens and parents. Creative preparation activities in Santa’s workshop, cheerful music, smiling children and adults faces, colorful costumes, packages and additional surprises, are indispensable contents that become part of the carnival every year, with standard parade through the city. In case of bad weather, there is no fear, because the organizers NGO “Volunteers and Friends of the Konjic Region” always have a plan B, to satisfy the wishes of the little ones, who joyfully and impatiently await the beginning of the carnival. Masked parents and friends of our little ones are not something that should surprise you, because the euphoria of this event not only wins the hearts of the youngest, but also adults, of all ages.
If you find yourself in a position to be a part of this most beautiful New Year’s story in our city, we believe that it will be the most magical and beautiful end of the year ever. Ho, ho, ho!
