A reveler and his kid wear sheepfur costumes with horns and masks as they participate in a march of the busos in Mohacs, 189 kms south of Budapest, Hungary, on the opening day of the festival, 08 February 2018. The carnival parade of people, the so-called busos, dressed in sheepfur costumes and frightening wooden masks, using various noisy wooden rattlers is traditionally held on the seventh weekend before Easter to drive away winter. The parade is a revival of a legend, which says that ethnic Croats ambushed the Osmanli Turkish troops, who escaped in panic seeing the terrifying figures during the Turkish occupation of Hungary.
