Kukeri Carnival games On several occasions during the year, ritual games called Kukeri, take place in Bulgaria. The performers are men, dressed in colourful hand-made costumes. The masked men jump, jingle with the bells, and make jokes. The Kukeri games aim to scare away the evil spirits with their magic dances, so that all living creatures and the crops can be healthy. The ritual games end with a big “horo” - a circle dance in the centre of the village.
