Derybasivska Street

The street is named after José de Ribas, who helped build the city, who was its first mayor and who lived on the street. Derybasivska street was closed to auto traffic and turned into a pedestrian-only zone sometime in the spring of 1984. Every year on first of April the Humorina procession goes the whole length of Derybasivska Street, which is packed with tens of thousands of onlookers and participants dressed in funny costumes.
