The “Bourgas Likes the Young” Initiative organizes a kukeri demonstration on October 31st at 17:00. A loud procession will start from the Compass on the main street and end in front of the building of Bourgas Municipality. It aims to create a mood among the passers-by and show that there is also an attractive alternative to Halloween fears.
The world's most popular annual masquerade on October 31st is more fun, but in the past it was meant to frighten the evil forces to avoid being inhabited by people. Similar symbolism is the Bulgarian kukeri ritual. It scares the winter halls and forces them to go away before coming of the spring.
