The Carnival time lasts from Epiphany ( 6th January) to Ash Wednesday.
This also means farewell to winter, which is celebrated with the famous „Mohács Búsójárás” (Busó-walking). The celebration features Busós (people wearing traditional masks) and includes folk music, masquerading, parades and dancing. Busójárás lasts six days.
In our school a large Fancy-Dress Party is organised every year.
As the beginning of the ceremony the school-leaver students danced a beautiful waltz.
After that other dance groups danced, then came the pupils dressed in nice and interesting fancy dresses.
We had a great time as the good music was given, we could dance and talk a lot.
Moreover, doughnut and sandwiches could be eaten with tea.
We could buy as many raffles as we wanted, and hoped that we win one of the cakes!
As we are in Year 7, we were responsible for cleaning after the party. It was tiring, but we left school with beautiful memories that evening.
