Traditional mask festival of scaring the evil spirits away held annually in Bulgaria
Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Surva Festival - Each year all the local villages and towns around Bulgaria gather in a festival meant to showcase their masks, traditions, costumes, and dances. The custom comes from a long time ago, tracing it roots from the thracian people in the Balkans. The groups dance around the fire, while simultenously they clang their bells around the waist to make noise. Their masks are designed to be looking scary and imitate the evil creatures of legends. They are made of feather, leather, bones and other animal and wooden figures. The groups are also known as kukeri, survakari, babugeri, djamilari, and many other names from each region.
