KUKEROV DEN.




The old Pagan ritual performed in early spring,to chase away the evil spirits of winter and ensure a good harvest.The ritual includes Kukerski igri (kukeri games)and processions through the village,its worth seeing the noise and merry parade of men dressed up in animal costumes with goat or sheep bell,and wearing wooden masks adorned with multicoloured threads,sequins and small mirrors.
