Carnival

The time has arrived to chase winter away! It’s February again, the time of endless series of masquerades where ’busós’, hunting devils, witches and others fill the streets to chase winter away. After a long and dark winter, people want to make the cold season go away by wearing colorful masks, dressing up, singing loudly, eating doughnuts and by ’burning Farsang coffin’. Join us on the carnival in a couple of weeks time! In this year the theme of the carnival is fable so please try to wear costumes that fit into this topic.
