Busójárás - Busó festivities

In Hungary, we really like to keep up with our traditions, just like the Busó festivities - which is held in Mohács. It's a beautiful city in Baranya county. When winter finishes and spring is about to come, we Hungarians have a tradition to 'scare away' winter - that's what we know as busójárás. At this carnival, people dress in big, hairy customes and wear scary masks to represent that 'they're scaring the winter away'.
