Busójárás carneval fest

Busójárás is a carneval-like fest when the citizens of Mohács with sokac origins chase away the winter dressed in these devilish masks and sheepskin. It takes place in winter (the exact date depends from when is easter) and it takes 6 days. At sunday there is a procession and at the evening they burn a coffin that simbolizes winter and the busós dance around the bonfire for traditional sokac music.
