Days of Macedonian Music-Skopje

The event takes place in the Army Club in downtown Skopje in the end of March every year. Although mainly concentrated on promoting new musical visions of Macedonian composers, the program also includes classical Macedonian works. The concerts are primarily performed by Macedonian artists and conducted by internationally known conductors.

Strumica Carnival - Strumica
The three-day Strumica Carnival is one of the greatest attractions for visitors because of its cheerful atmosphere and thousands of masked participants strolling through the streets of the town. The carnival is held each year within the “Trimeri” days, which is in the beginning of the Lenten Fast. The event always begins on Sunday Eve of Forgiveness and lasts until Wednesday, culminating with a great feast on Tuesday night. At the end of the festival a special jury announces the most impressive individual and collective mask. Since 1995 the town of Strumica has been a member of the FECC (Federation of European Carnival Cities). The last few years an exhibition of erotic caricatures by Macedonian and foreign authors is also organized within the carnival days.
