- This Crazy Festival in Hungary is called Busójárás and it is held in the town of Mohács each year in February and is closely attributed to the End of Winter Carnival festivities.
Busó are masked individuals who wear sheep fur and carry different noise making items around the city, to scare the Winter away, but according to some legends, they scared an invading army away back in medieval times.
This festival of Hungary was also included on the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage List!
If you are looking for a truly memorable experience for your trip to Hungary, definately consider adding this to your Itinerary!

Mohács is a small town located in south of Hungary on the shores of the Danube river and as the festival is very popular among locals and foreigners alike, getting to the town directly from Budapest can be done with Volánbusz (long distance Buses), from Népliget Bus station.
Busójárás lasts from Thursday to next Tuesday, with each day having a different program, for more information you can visit the following site:
www.mohacsibusojaras.hu/
Next years event is planned for 2025.02.27 - 03.04.
You can enjoy many different cultural programs like folk dancing, folk arts and crafts exhibitions, food tastings, getting to know Busó groups and many more. It's easy to fill a day with many exciting events as you explore the street, encounter the masked individuals and have a ton of fun in the meantime.

I learned about Busojaras this year and have put it on my Hungarian bucket list!
Glad to help with growing your list longer and longer 😊
I love how Mrs. Cabbage models the fridge magnet. :) That made me smile.
There is a giant one-day festival in Prizzi, Sicilia, with characters that look a lot like these ones. It's related to Christian Easter now but I was told it predates Christianity (so does the town of Prizzi). It's a crazy drive over terrible roads to get there but I am so glad that I went. I'll have to add Busojaras to my bucket list.
I hope you can visit Busójárás one day and enjoy this wonderful festival 😊
That’s awesome 🤩

Hey Mr. & Mrs. Cabbage Adventures ! This video was a great " off of the beaten track " video ! You did a awesome job ! I've always wondered what those Busó people were all about in Mohács. You did a great job explaining the historical facts which I didn't know anything! Did the Ottoman Turks occupy Mohács like Pécs? Can't wait till you do a " best hamburgers " in Budapest sometimes. Thanks again....
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed this one too 😊 the Ottoman Empire occupied a very large part of Hungary, all the way to Budapest as well. In the past few years the local Burger space has significantly increased and improved in Budapest, so perhaps we may do a video on the matter at some point 😊
Hello Akos, we love your videos about Budapest. We stayed in Budapest from 20013 to 2016 and will be back again next week during Easter holidays. Would love to meet you in our visit there. Let us know if you would like to meet your subscribers and possibly have a coffee or a beer together
I hope you'll have another great visit here in the city 😊 unfortunately during Easter I won't be in the country, but if you come so often, perhaps next time we can clink glasses 😊
How fun
Köszönöm! This was great!!
❤❤❤❤🥰🥰🥰🥰
Koszi a filmet. En soha nem voltam busojarason sajnos.
Remélem egyszer lesz rá lehetőséged! :) én is csak nagyon pici gyerekként voltam utoljára és semmire nem emlékeztem, de nagyon jó móka volt 😊
Hello Mr. Cabbage. Do you have any recommendation on equally interesting events for the following months in Hungary?
Hey there! Similar events where people dress up in such a way we don't have, but Easter is celebrated with different kind of events, one at the town of Hollókő is one of the most famous. On August 20th we Celebrate the Founding of the State and St Stephen first King of Hungary during which there are many different kind of events and fireworks across the country. Other than these there are smaller and more localised events.
Jo video, de a “chick of the devil” tukorforditas egy kicsit meredek 😄
Hehhe, köszi 😊 sajna jobb nem jutott eszembe, a hatchlings of the devil még talán lehetett volna 😅
Én spawns of the devil-t mondanék.
