Busójárás


This guy is up to mischief

Busójárás is the Mohacs event that signals (or creates?) the end of winter to make way for the coming of spring. It is marked by parades of Busó, large masked creatures, sometimes even wielding weapons who scare off winter.

More parading Busó


And yet more...


Busó children


Night at the Roxbury anyone?

The Beast and the Beast



This Busó took a little inspiration from Guy Fawkes


Little Boy Busó come blow your horn...


Putting the effigy of winter on the pyre


Silly busó with donut horns


Cel-e-brate good times, c'mon!


Burning man, winter edition


Die, winter, die!


Hardcore busó


Happy dancing busó


Party time!


The Busó are happy


Mischief managed.
