As is the tradition, this morning kukeri in the town of Razlog came out to banish the forces of evil on the first day of the new year, BGNES reports.
People in Razlog woke up to the beating of drums and the ringing of bells this misty morning. The local kukeri festival was cancelled this year, but the kukeri still decided to mark the tradition, at the same time observing the anti-coronavirus measures. They passed through the streets of the town while the locals applauded them from their balconies and windows. The police were also there to make sure there were no breaches of the restrictions.
Covid-19 was the reason why traditional kukeri and masquerade games, organized for dozens of years, were, for the first time cancelled in Petrich, Razlog, Bansko, Simitli and Blagoevgrad.
