Legend has it that around the 16th century, Mohács’ ethnic Croatian minority people, the Šokci fled to the neighbouring swamps and woodlands to escape the Ottoman army. One night, an old man devised an ultimately successful plan to construct masks and noisy objects to frighten the Ottomans away. At the festival, choose from a variety of activities such as workshops, folk dances, musical performances, masquerading, or creative workshops, or simply sit by the bonfire and listen to stories. Don’t forget to sample traditional Hungarian delicacies such as lángos, chimney cake, spicy sausages, and fresh mini doughnuts. Busójárás will be held in February 2023.
