Banjaluka is mentioned for the first time in the written historic documents in 1494, and in the Roman time there was a military fort Castrum at the location of Banjaluka.
With its geographical position, natural beauties and rich cultural and sport activities, Banjaluka is one of the cities which have realistic possibilities for good organization of carnival happenings, within FECC.
In 2008, for the first time in history, Banjaluka is written in the family list of carnivals, which registers over 500 members in 49 countries in the world in the scope of Federation of European Carnival Cities - FECC.
Today there are nine types of carnival happenings, and it is characteristic for the countries of Mediterranean - Balkans that people cherish customs using national costumes and music.
