About Busójárás
The busójárás (Hungarian, meaning "Busó-walking"; in Croatian: Pohod bušara) is an annual celebration in the town of Mohács, Hungary, held at the end of the Carnival season ("farsang"), ending the day before Ash Wednesday. It originated in the 18th century amongst the Šokci living in the area. The celebration features Busós (people wearing traditional masks) and includes folk music, masquerading, parades and dancing. Busójárás lasts six days, usually during February. It starts on a Thursday, followed by the Kisfarsang (Little Farsang) carnival on Friday, with the biggest celebration, farsang v.
