    Like in many other countries around the world, Hungary has a rich tradition of saying farewell to winter and welcoming spring, replete with special customs and beliefs. Busójárás festival in Mohács stands out as one of the most significant and widely recognised traditions here, earning it a coveted spot on the UNESCO World Heritage List. This year more than seventy Busó groups will mark the winter solstice in Hungary, with a record number of 2500 masked individuals celebrating between 8 -13 February.
