Kefalonia Carnival in Argostoli

In 1865, the British left Kefalonia but Britannia ruled the Ionian waves on 5th March 2006 when the British entry won first prize with their float called Britain in Kefalonia. With a map of Britain within the map of Kefalonia on a float with Big Ben and a tongue in cheek, representation of all things British they made history on this day!
A turning point in Kefalonian history was when the British carnival entry won first prize!

The carnival parade is a lot of fun for children and adults. The parade starts in the palm trees street and slowly makes it way to the square and then to the Archaeological museum. Judges sit in Argostoli square and announce the winner of around 400 euro which helps towards the costumes.

The carnival is time when local politics and controversial issues are graphically displayed. Argostoli's Drapano brige has been closed as it has been deemed unsafe. Here the locals have made a float depicting the famous landmark obelisk making fun of delay in rebuilding the local bridge.
