Carnival Season
Carnival is a festive season which occurs immediately before Lent, the main events are usually during February. Carnival typically involves a public celebration or parade combining some elements of a circus, mask and public street party. People often dress up or masquerade during the celebrations, which mark an overturning of daily life. Carnival is traditionally held in areas with a large Catholic and Eastern Orthodox makeup.
In Mohács, Hungary, the Busójárás is a celebration held at the end of the Carnival season, and involves locals dressing up in woolly costumes, with scary masks and noise-makers. They perform a burial ritual to symbolise the end of winter and spike doughnuts on weapons to symbolise the defeat of Ottomans. Budapest has also its unique carnival season with carnival balls and parties. Opera Garden Hotel & Apartments is a perfect place for those who would like to take part any of these events.
