Carnival Cities

The Federation of European Carnival Cities (FECC) is an international organisation that brings together carnival cities and communities to celebrate, preserve and share their traditions. Its work centres on cooperation, cultural exchange and building lasting relationships among members across Europe. Through gatherings such as FECC Dies Natalis and General Assemblies, the federation gives representatives opportunities to meet, exchange ideas and discuss the future of carnival culture.

Its activities also include visits to cultural destinations, carnival celebrations and events that introduce participants to local customs and heritage. These shared experiences can encourage partnerships, guest appearances and future joint projects between member communities. FECC supports the preservation of carnival traditions by promoting community participation, respect for cultural heritage and the sharing of knowledge across generations.

Its official website provides news, reports, a calendar, information about countries and carnival cities, and details for those interested in joining. By connecting people and communities with distinct customs, FECC helps foster friendship and cooperation while strengthening a shared European carnival identity
