One kooky Carnival…
Kukeri is a traditional Bulgarian ritual to scare away evil spirits. The dance of these masked men is considered to bring blessings and fertility to the community. The somewhat scary costumes, (the scarier the better to drive evil spirits away) cover most of the body and include decorated wooden masks of animals (sometimes double-faced) and large bells attached to the belt.
