On the last day of the carnival period, the day before Ash Wednesday, the Carnival mask is burned and buried. After a long day of visiting homesteads, members of The Ethnographic Society Plowers Leskovec gathered at their headquarters in Zgornji Leskovec, brought a Carnival dummy to the courtyard and set it on fire. The Carnival period was over, spring was around the corner.
Two kurenti surround and jump with a girl during The International Carnival Parade in Ptuj. Jumping around people is part of their traditional activities. During the Parade kurenti continuously look out for girls that are watching the Parade, bring them into the parade and then jump with them. Afterwards girls tie handkerchiefs on their jezevka, a wooden bat with hedgehog spikes that kurenti used to use use as a weapon.
