How to Prepare?
In order for the organization of cheerful street festivities for the village to be at the highest level, it is necessary to take into account all the nuances when preparing the holiday.
- Celebrating Maslenitsa on the street involves the preparation of various structuresdesigned for all kinds of contests and games. It can be a variety of bars, posts, horizontal bars. It is very good if the farewell to the winter for the villagers can be done next to the sports ground. Then part of the competition can be held on it and you don't have to build additional structures. If not, then it is not so difficult to erect several wooden structures, and then disassemble them.
In the snowy region, there must be a slide, since winter fun on the wires of winter will be very useful.

In addition, you need to prepare in advance the costumes for those who will participate in the scenes and theatrical performance, as well as make a stuffed carnival.
- Festivities on this day are necessarily accompanied by delicious dishes., lots of pastries, hot drinks. And for this you need to decide in advance which food companies to invite for organized trade. If the holiday is held in the countryside, then very often the villagers themselves prepare various dishes and delicacies and bring them as treats for the holiday, especially if a culinary competition is being held and it is planned to designate and reward the winners.
- It is imperative to provide for the availability of prizes for different competitions. No Shrovetide event is complete without fun competitions and gifts. Therefore, it is immediately worth deciding whether budget money will be allocated for all these purposes or whether you need to look for sponsors.

The holiday lasts more than one hour, and any unforeseen situations cannot be ruled out.
Holiday decoration
The area where the event will take place should be decorated with bright colors. The design depends on the budget that is supposed to be spent on organizing the event. These can be various figures made of drywall and properly painted - huts, suns, samovars, pancakes. All this, of course, should not be chaotic. You should think over the exposure, and at the same time provide for a photo zone where you can take pictures for memory.
But in many cases, the traditional stuffed animal, the sun, all kinds of ribbons and flags are enough. To do this, you can place a high pillar in the middle of the square - a bright yellow smiling sun will flaunt at the top. And from it in all directions there will be multi-colored ribbons along the entire perimeter of the square. At the bottom, the tapes should be pegged or tied to trees if they frame the clearing. Even this kind of decor already allows you to feel the holiday atmosphere.
Of course, do not forget about the bright costumes of buffoons and other characters. Beautifully decorated tables with various dishes are also attributes of the holiday.
Entertainment for the people
A rural holiday always includes folk amusements, which include all kinds of competitions, accompanied by fun and shouts of fans. These include:
- tug of war (two teams with the same number of participants pull the rope - each in its own direction);
- competition in strength (lifting weights, barbells, squats with weights, push-ups, pull-ups);
- a manifestation of dexterity and strength (you need to climb to the very top of the pillar, where the prize or certificate for its receipt will be located);
