Folk feast with the masks' group "Grop de la Mescres de Cianacei e Gries" by the Fassa Park in Canazei
The folk group "Grop de la Mescrès de Cianacei e Gries" presents a preview of the winter season and of a Carnival with unusual characters and rites that differ from the whole alpine arch. The group organizes a folk feast by the Fassa Park in Canazei. Folk music, traditional dishes and the masks’ dances, in particular those of the Marascons to the rhythms of the "bronsins" (bells bonded to big belts), are the leitmotif of the feast. The group from Canazei and the suburb Gries was born several years ago and was up until the Sixties, when it was dismissed for several reasons. In 1997 it was reconstituted and, since then, it animates several events during Carnival as well as during summer.
