Today Škoromati Shrovetide carnival masks can be seen on the southern edge of the Brkini and in the Podgrajsko-Matarsko podolje area in the villages of: Hrušica, Gradišče, Ritomeče, Obrov, Javorje, Male Loče, Podgrad, Podbeže and Račice. In Hrušica some carnival figures wear face masks, in other villages they paint their faces. Carnival outfits are made by the young men themselves, with the help of mothers and girlfriends. Since 2012 the Škoromatija as a carnival custom has been included in the Register of Intangible Cultural Heritage.
