Kurent ali korant je najbolj znan pustni lik v Sloveniji. Izvira iz severovzhodnega dela Sloveniji, iz vasi Markovci. Povorke ali kot pravijo domačini fašenka se udeleži tudi več kot 300 korantov. Spremljajo jih tudi drugi etnografski liki, med katerimi po pisanosti in eleganci izstopajo kopijaši.

Kurentovanje je največji pustni karneval v Sloveniji. v primarjavi s tistim mednarodno priznanim na Ptuju, ki je tudi eden največjih etnografskih festivalov v Evropi, je ta v Markovcih, predvsem bolj pristen.

Kurent je mitološki demon, ki odganja zimo, prinaša pa svetlobo in pomlad.

Možje oblečeni v kurente, tekajo od hiše do hiše, odganjajo zimo in vse kar je slabega, prinašajo dobro in pomlad. Markovci, 02.03.2019
