For the fourth year in a row, the town of Tran in Western Bulgaria will host a winter festival of masquerade games. The beginning will be set on February 3 from 12:00 to 14:00 in the central town square. 

Four survakari groups from Zemen, Trun and the villages of Cherna Gora and Velkovtsi near Pernik will take part in the event. The total number of masked people will be 210. 


The organizers of the festival are the Municipality of Tran and the Tran Community Center "Gyurga Pindzhurova-1895". According to them, the festival aims to present the emotion of the most mystical and colorful Bulgarian customs and traditions, handed down from generation to generation.


Just a few days ago, the children's Survakari group "Prelichotine" from the village of Busintsi near Tran opened the "Survakariada" youth masquerade parade, part of the program of the Surva festival in Pernik.
