Mummers from the neighborhoods of Bulgaria's town of Blagoevgrad, the neighboring villages and guests from Petrich paraded at a carnival in the regional town, as the sounds of hundreds of bells filled the town. 
For yet another year, the Mummers' Games in the Pirin Mountain festival showed the variety of survakari customs, which are preserved by the local people, BTA reported. After the end of the procession, the participants started a long dance. Among the most attractive survakari were the children - girls and boys, pre-dressed in costumes, skins and masquerade costumes of bears.
