Some roads remained closed for hours and colourful floats and costumes abounded as people turned out in their hundreds in the mild weather.
The parade started at the traffic lights of the municipal gardens, headed towards the old Port and ended at the Molos parking lot, Philenews also reports.
Thousands of young masqueraders were there with imaginative disguises and colourful costumes as music and dancing were the main protagonists.
