The final weekend of carnival is the most popular for dances, masked balls, and children’s parties, culminating in carnival parades on the final Sunday before Lent. Although it doesn’t happen now as much as it used to, on this Sunday, children visit the homes of friends and family dressed in costumes, and the people they visit try to recognize who they are and reward them with treats. A carnival parade is no longer held in Gavalochori, but you can see one in Kalyves (Καλύβες), Chania (Χανιά), and Rethymno (Ρέθυμνο). These parades usually begin at 2:00 p.m.
