Karnevalskoj povorci koja se kretala od Doma kulture do hotela Albatros ili Croatia, gdje su se održavale maškarane zabave za djecu Mali karneval fest, prethodili su dječji maškarani balovi i obilasci kuća te skupljanje jaja, voća i slatkiša. Prve maškarane povorke za djecu organizirane su šezdesetih godina 20. stoljeća, a 1973. godine, kao pratnja dječjim povorkama osnovane su Cavtatske mažoretkinje, prva takva skupina u Hrvatskoj koje danas osvajaju medalje na državnim i europskim prvenstvima.
The carnival procession that walked from the House of Culture to the Albatros or Croatia Hotel, where the Little Carnival Fest i.e. masked children’s parties were held, was preceded by children’s masquerades and house visits for them to collect eggs, fruit and sweets. First masked processions for children were organized in the 1960s, and in 1973, the Cavtat Majorettes were founded to accompany children’s processions. It was the first such group in Croatia, which still continues to win medals in national and European championships today.
