This unique event will involve about 500 young people from Yerevan as well as 6 regions of Armenia (Armavir, Gegharkunik, Ararat, Tavush, Kotayk, Lori) who will march through the streets of Yerevan wearing animal costumes and masks created from waste materials. The Animal Parade will fill the capital with the air of wildlife. As in the previous years the Carnival Parade will be led by the Samba-band Confusao from Bremen, Germany.
