One of the many impressive masks at the #SurvaFestival in #Bulgaria this weekend
Some impressions of the incredible #SurvaFestival in #Bulgaria, the International Festival of the Masked games bringing ancient traditions to live.

We went to see the #SurvaFestival in #Pernik and were in awe. Bells ringing all around, the colorful traditional costumes, the magic of ancient customs and dances. We enjoyed the numerous masked creatures dancing and making noise on the streets in order to chase away the evil spirits.
This is what I like most about #Bulgaria - the aliveness of the old #traditions and the passion with which they cultivate their customs and pass them one to the next generation.
