Masquerade groups (Mesopustari Kraljevica, Šmričke mačkare, Udruga Čenguti Bakarac and Maškare Dol-Križišće) from the area of the city of Kraljevica have been organizing and participating in masquerade dances for many years in order to preserve the tradition. The crown of all events is the great Rijeka Carnival, where all masked groups go every year and proudly present their region.
