One of the most famous village festivals held in the Balkans is the Vevcani Carnival. It is believed that the custom is over 1,400 years old. It is based on old Pagan beliefs and rituals. Essentially the Carnival is the ritual of calling after Saint Basil the Great, which coincides with the Twelve Days of Orthodox Christmas and the Orthodox New Year. The festivity is held on the 13th and 14th of January every year The participants of the Carnival are known as Vasilicari.

14 January 2012 (MIA) - A group mask created by the inhabitants of Vevcani reflecting Macedonian-Greek relations was the most talked about mask among visitors of this year's Vevcani Carnival.
Other masks included US president Barack Obama, a "Flying to Europe" mask, the hand of VMRO-DPMNE, etc. Scenes from cowboy movies were re-enacted and Tito's Pioneers, Muslim priests, dead people paraded through the village of Vevcani. This year, Macedonian politicians were spared, there were no masks making fun of any local politician.
Opening the carnival, Culture Minister Elizabeta Kanceska-Milevska said all well-intentioned visitors with a carnival spirit were part of an unique satire reminding us of events and persons who had marked 2011.
"The Vevcani Carnival offers a game without protocol. It is a valuable pearl in the Macedonian tradition and a brand which makes Macedonia famous in the world. This carnival is being celebrated with a sense of preserving a valuable sample of the Macedonian tradition that amazes with its originality," Milevska said.

Република Вевчани испрати писмо до грчката Влада
http://www.kurir.mk/makedonija/vesti/57652-Republika-Vevcani-isprati-pismo-do...

Настан кој се случува само еднаш во годината и кој го слави доаѓањето на Новата година според стариот календар, спој меѓу паганскиот и современиот начин на прослава.
Карневал кој според своите специфични особини се одвојува од останатите во светот поради неговата архаичност, традиционалност, таинственост, уникатни маски, политичка сатира и иронија на секојдневниот "политички живот". Настан на кој му се восхитуваат илјадници странски посетители секоја година збогатен со неговата културна и историска вредност.
